i read in the handbook about overriding module stylesheets by including them in your theme and adding them in .info but what if only want to override it on a specific page? i'm guessing it would need to be drupal_add_css somewhere in template.php but i'm not sure which function to call.

Depending on your theme, you may have body classes you can use for selectively styling certain pages.

I know you can use body class selectors, but there's gotta be a way better than this. What if you have a single page on your site with lots of custom CSS, and you don't want to clog up your main styles.css file. It seems like a waste to load all this extra style information if it is only applicable to a single page on the site. The styles loaded by the theme's .info file are loaded into every single page.

Other than creating a custom tpl.php file, is there a function that will let you include a css file per path? Or maybe per content type?

Merry Christmas!

I haven't done this myself, but with Drupal 6 there are the new phptemplate_preprocess functions. You could perhaps use a conditional statement in phptemplate_preprocess_node to add a css page. 

function phptemplate_preprocess_node(&$variables) {
  if ($variables['node']->nid == yourspecialnodeid) {
    drupal_add_css('yourcsspath', 'theme', 'all', FALSE);
  }
}
