Ethan, 

gdaltindex will store the paths in the form they are passed in.  So
if you want relative paths, use those on the commandline. 

eg. 

gdaltindex index.shp doq/*.tif

as opposed to 

gdaltindex index.shp /opt/data/doq/*.tif

Of course, it can be tricky to ensure that the relative
paths in the index file are correctly interpreted by mapserver.
I'm never sure if it interpretes them relative to the index file, 
or the SHAPEPATH or what. 

Best regards,
