Just a note for anyone following this module. I just released http://drupal.org/project/secure_permissions for Drupal 7. It could use a backport to D6, and a backport would require the Permissions API.

Anyone wanting to help should let me know.

I was thinking a bit about this, and was wondering if the Strongarm module can be used for locking out the ability to change permissions through the interface?

I don't think so, it handles variables, and permissions are not stored as variables. Secure Permissions works by taking over control of the database tables for roles and permissions, and by using hook_menu_alter() and hook_form_alter() to block attempts to use the UI for these settings.
