Well there is the Author Tools pallete that has an indexing function. I haven't used this yet in my work and don't know how suitable it would be. Looking at the help file, it appears you have to manually specify index points in the notebooks you want indexed then the various tools create a nice index. If you have a large number of notebooks, this process might be rather labor intensive.
