Hi Mads,
I'll answer in a bullted form if you don't mind:
* Page index blocking can be achieved by:
- robots.txt exclusions
- metadata as seen in:http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/metatags.html
(might be hard to change meta generation, i.e. decision in dynamic pages)
- diversion through sitemaps, which you suggest won't work.
- session id's that comply with guidelines to Webmasters (not just
Google's)
-...
* Impact of having many pages indexed
-users reach uninteresting pages
-SE algorithm apply automated penalty for high rise in # of pages.
This reduced ranks and affects referrals
-PageRank (and the equivalent likes of it) is being spread among
many pages. Therefore, each pages loses value.
-...
Best wishes and good luck,
Roy
