Why would it be useful?
A straightforward way would be to place each repository on its own
filesystem, to use a filesystem that doesn't support hard links
(e.g. vfat), or to have a cron job that periodically breaks hard links,
e.g. (untested)
find _darcs -type f -exec sed -i {} +
(perl -i and GNU sed -i should do a temporary file dance, which will
indirectly create a new inode and thus break the hard link.)
