I was certainly looking in the wrong direction (deadline stress, perhaps),
probably because I didn't understand \hyperpage.

Now it reads, using your solution :

\ifthenelse{\boolean{@pdf}}{\relax}{\providecommand{\hyperpage[1]{#1}}}
% font change commands
\newcommand{\eldfindx}[1]{\bfseries\hyperpage{#1}}
\newcommand{\atdfindx} ...
...
% tagging macros for various language elements
\newcommand{\fcname}[2][]{{\nobreak\sttfont
#2}\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{def}}{\index{#2|eldfindx}}{\index{#2}}}
\newcommand{\atname}[2] ...
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{def}}{\index{#2|vadfindx}}{\index{#2|varfindx}}}
...


Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

Yours sincerely,
Marc
