Actually, I believe the latest version(s) of Wordpress do something similar to this already (because they realize how important it is).
Try this to see if you're all set:
- Pull up your browser and goto http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php
- Keep an eye on your address bar, if you notice that you get autoforwarded to http://www.yourdomain.com then most likely your site is already doing a 301 redirect.
The .htaccess snippet I gave should mainly be used for sites that have a DirectoryIndex of index.html, index.htm, or index.php. It is a very simple change that probably won't have that drastic of an affect. But when it comes to SEO, every little bit helps.
