I've tried this with the three instances of the indexterm for "node" in 
my document:

<indexterm><primary sortas="node general">node</primary></indexterm>
...

<indexterm><primary sortas="node general">node</primary></indexterm>
...
<indexterm><primary sortas="node 
typename"><type>node</type></primary></indexterm>

Now, as you said, I got 2 different index entries, one for nodes (of a 
graph) in general rendered in proportional font, one for the C++ type 
node in fixed font.

But unfortunately, the page numbers are repeated twice:

node, 192, 261, 267
node, 192, 261, 267

Instead, the output should be:

node, 192, 261
node, 267
