Dacrs does maintain a list of remote repos: cat _darcs/prefs/repos
When you push/pull to a different repo, that automatically becomes  
the default repo. You can use the --no-set-default flag to avoid this.

I think this would be better kept separate from darcs, either using a  
shell function or a wrapper around darcs.
