I don't think a sporran is going to make that much of a difference unless you wear it rather low which looks rather awkward. Pinning the aprons together also inhibits free movement. It's the risk one takes when wearing a kilt...a full under apron does help, however there are number of pictures around displaying kilts flying up in the rear and a fanny pack isn't going to help that situation either. You'll just have to learn to walk into the wind.....
