In plain CMF, probably not. In Plone, we have a custom CatalogTool which 
does let you provide a new wrapper wholesale based on object type.

In Plone 3.3, we'll *also* have a means of providing individual 
*attributes* of the wrapper via adapters. See 
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.indexer. This package should work with 
stock CMF (though you'll need to wire it into the catalog tool yourself).
