This doesn't answer your question directly, but I believe that I have  
read on this list that an internally tiled GeoTIFF with overviews will  
provide equivalent performance as an image pyramid in most cases. GDAL  
can build a GeoTIFF in this manner and GeoServer can read them. The  
main limitation is the size of the resulting GeoTIFF (4GB is usually  
the limit).

See below for more details:
