Another possibility would be to move this setting into the recovery.conf. The problems with this approach is that the recovery.conf file is deleted after the information it contains is incorporated into pg_control. Thus, the readonly setting would need to be stored in pg_control too, making it impossible for the user to change it later (e.g, after interrupting and restarting WAL replay which is possible with 8.2)
I think it would be best to very clearly divide setting up a cluster as a read-only slave from doing an actual recovery. One obvious way to do this would be to require that all read-only GUCs have to live in postgresql.conf and not recovery.conf. There's probably some other more elegant solutions as well.
