A thought that came to me earlier is: if you have multiple physical disks
in your box (as I intend to - one machine being firewall/gateway and
file/print server to the other machines in the house) could and should I
configure different swap partitions for each disk?

No.  You are unlikely to be swapping anyway handling the workload you
have specified, unless you are running on a 16 mb system, in which
case you should probably get more memory rather than have multiple
swap partitions.
