Is it OK to 301 redirect the index page to a search engine friendly url
Hey, yep, simple for sure, but in this instance, just not the right thing to do. In an ideal world, if you wrote a piece on big yellow underpants then the page name would include those keywords so... http://www.yoururl.com/big-yellow-underpants.html But, for the homepage, this is a special case, you have no page name as such, just the URL itself so in the 99.9% of cases where you don't have the keywords in the URL rewriting the / to a keyword driven page (or vice versa) is just not going to do anything. This is a tiny thing, don't sweat it!
