That should be possible, using two stages.

First you have to make sure that there is an \insertkeywords in
each of the \setuppublicationlayout definitions that you are
using (look into the bibl-xxx files for examples).

Second you have to redefine \insertkeywords so that it does a bit
more work than normal. Here is what it normally does:

\unprotect
\def\insertkeywords#1#2#3%
   {\bibdoifelse
      {\@@pb@keywords}
      {% keywords present
       #1\@@pb@keywords #2%
      }
      {#3}% no keywords
   }
\protect

If you change that to

\unprotect
\def\insertkeywords#1#2#3%
   {\bibdoifelse{\@@pb@keywords}
      {%
       #1\@@pb@keywords #2%
       \processcommacommand[\@@pb@keywords]\index
      }
      {#3}%
   }
\protect

it should create the indices you want, besides.

This is untested, if it does not work you should send me a test file.

Best wishes,
Taco
