You’ll have to craft a Category Template for each of your main categories and use a simple get_posts loop to get just one post in that category. Something like:
<?php
if ( is_category() ) {
$cat = get_query_var('cat');
$args=array(
'showposts' => 1,
'category__in' => array($cat),
'caller_get_posts'=>1
);
$posts=get_posts($args);
if ($posts) {
foreach($posts as $post) {
setup_postdata($post); ?>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
<?php
} // foreach($posts
} // if ($posts
} //is_category
?>

Template Hierarchy
Just a note about categories–by WordPress standards, ANY category that has been designated a Parent category is not meant to be checked in the category hierarchy when writing posts. Meaning, only the latest generation category should be checked. Think of it like this, only the youngest generation gets the action.
It’s okay to have multiple categories assigned a post, as long as the other categories are not designated as parents.
