Not that I know of.

X is the index, not a number. It's the order by which the bios recognize 
the disks. It's usually the same order as Linux recognises them.

Yes, however, that would make grub on the MBR of hd1 look for kernel and 
  initrd on (the maybe broken) hd0.

I whould instead do:

root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd1)

To make hd1 completely independet of hd0 and vice versa.

Grub always looks for information from the BIOS, no matter when it's 
started. My only doubt is how it handles scsi versus IDE.. ;)
