Why don't you take another look to Gofer Project Loader? (http://www.squeaksource.com/Loader.html
Maybe it needs to be integrated with Gofer to be really useful (as long as it is "yet another configuration", no one will use it), and maybe it needs some work on it... but it is already there :) 

Also I think: 

Gofer project load: 'Blah'.

is far better than: 

Smalltalk loadMetacelloProject: 'Blah'

Noooooooooooooooooooo !

Horrible ugly terrible, Don;t touch our SmalltalkImage :)

But i think there could be a compromise. We may add an extension
method to be able to do something like:

Smalltalk loadMetacelloProject: #ConfigurationOfXYZ
fromRepository: 'http://squeaksource.com/XYZProject'

and/or:

Smalltalk loadMetacelloProject: #ConfigurationOfXYZ
fromRepository: 'http://squeaksource.com/XYZProject'
version: 'x.y.z'

like that, we can have a cake and eat it too.
