Hmm it took me a second to get what you were saying. Basically to ensure that the listings link to
/content/contentpage for google and to
/category/contentpage for everybody else.
hmm interesting. Thinking along those lines I've jsut thought about the 301 redirect.

I could google sniff at the server and mod_rewrite 301 all alternative categories to the "main" category, so google would see:
/category/contentpage
/category1/contentpage --301--> /category/contentpage
/category2/contentpage --301--> /category/contentpage
/category3/contentpage --301--> /category/contentpage

and others would get the normal content.

Would this have the desired effect? What about META NOINDEX or NOFOLLOW tags?
Ultimately I want all content to get indexed for the right keywords as well as not loosing any PR to "unseen" pages. would google take the PR vote and pass it on along a 301 redirect? or not pass it into a NOINDEX page?

Thanks for the great suggestion, it brought me thinking along new lines.
