You can use the url.<base>.insteadOf config.
If you have this in ~/.gitconfig:
[url "git://gitorious.org/kde/"]
insteadOf = kde:
git clone kde:kdelibs.git
is equivalent to
git clone git://gitorious.org/kde/kdelibs.git
You can even remove the suffix .git as git adds it if necessary. So at
the end you could clone kdelibs with just:
git clone kde:kdelibs
