(Sorry for chiming in a week later.)
I think the best way to accomplish this, in that it combines the
strengths of other suggestions, is to use properties and column
view. Building the structure is pretty easy since you only have to
manually create the property drawer under the top-most heading. The
rest are inserted automatically when the check boxes are changed
while in column view mode (using S-left or S-right).
Here's an implementation of your example. Switching to column view
shows you the summary count (i.e., [n/m]) for to top level (here
[2/8]) AND each of the sub-levels (groceries [1/4], household [1/2],
office supplies [0/2]).

As Carsten Dominik so eloquently wrote on 12/11/2008 2:14 AM:
Hi
There are technical reasons for why I cannot easily summarize all the
lists.
How about this trick:
* [2008-12-15 Mon] [1/8]
- groceries ------------------------------------
- [ ] bananas
- [X] apples
- [ ] oranges
- [ ] spinach
- household ------------------------------------
- [ ] laundry soap
- [ ] toilet paper
- office supplies ------------------------------
- [ ] calendar for 2009
- [ ] printer paper
