There's a package in the emacs lisp code archive which allows you to define
a set of named styles (eg. "BSD", "K&R", "GNU", etc), then you can tag
each file with the name of the style you want to use.

From the top of the file:

-----cut-----8<-----here-----8<--------------8<--------------
; Definitions for buffer specific c-mode indentation style.
; Written by Daniel LaLiberte (liberte@a.cs.uiuc.edu)
; while at Gould.  This is free.
 
; There are several ways to call set-c-style.
;
; 1. Set the c-style variable in the local variables list 
;    with "c-style: GNU" or whatever you like and
;    call set-c-style without argument in c-mode-hook.
;
; 2. Call set-c-style with style argument in c-mode-hook.
;    This will set the style for every c file the same.
;
; 3. Put "eval: (set-c-style 'GNU)" in the local variables list.
; 
; 4. Call set-c-style interactively.  It prompts for the style name.
 
; The default value of c-style is default-c-style.
; I put (autoload 'set-c-style "c-style.el" nil t) in my .emacs.
