In pip 1.5.x (current latest release) people can add additional indexes (or replace PyPI all together) on a per user basis. In pip 6.0 (next release) that still exists, and in addition it also includes a global configuration file for the entire machine and a per virtual env configuration file.
About the only thing it doesn't support is a directory of files ala apt.sources.d/*.list.
Donald & I chatted about this off-list, and the base URL is currently the only configuration setting pip retains per index. While we may still want to explore named indices at some point in the future, at this point in time, they wouldn't add a lot over just using the index URL directly. So I think this is basically already covered on the pip side (once 6.0 goes out), and then PEP 470 aims to improve the user experience for external index discovery.
