 * I’m not an expert on this, but if you’re already using seperate pages for the
   content it would be sufficient to change the wp_list_cats(“exclude-thingy… in
   each page. Otherwise you could insert a couple of if()’s before calling the wp_list_cat
   function, where you check which page has been called.

 * moxie’s suggestion of having separate page templates for each page would work,
   though may be a problem to manage if we’re talking about a lot.
 * A PHP if/else statement *could* perform this for you. Here’s an (inoperable) 
   example:
 * `<?php if(THIS_PAGE) {
    wp_list_cats('exclude=1'); } elseif (THIS_PAGE) { wp_list_cats('
   exclude=2'); } elseif (THIS_PAGE) { wp_list_cats('exclude=3'); } else { wp_list_cats();}?

 * What THIS_PAGE is filling in for pretty much depends on what you mean by “depending
   on which page your view my site”.
