Hello Darrell,

A combination of http://amasty.com/improved-navigation.html and some robots.txt disallow statements should handle this.

Although they aren't doing it, we'll use Zumiez as an example since they have layered navigation on a Magento site. If you want to allow one level of facets deep, but block additional levels here is what you would put in the robots.txt file:

disallow: /accessories/watches.html?=&*

That "should" allow this URL to be indexed:
http://www.zumiez.com/accessories/watches.html?brand=g-shock

While blocking this one and all others beyond the first facet:
http://www.zumiez.com/accessories/watches.html?watch-band=plastic&brand=g-shock&d=4294966838,4294964051

Using wildcards in the robots.txt file can be tricky though, so you may also want to look into this solution: http://www.mageworx.com/seo-suite-ultimate-magento-extension.html . It has a feature that allows you to adjust the robots meta tag (i.e. follow,nofollow,index,noindex) by parameter.

Good luck!
