Aloha Chao,

Org-babel lets you keep source code for many languages in Org-mode  
files.  You have to tangle the Org-mode file to create the source code  
file, so there are some intermediate steps, but it does bring many of  
the advantages of Org-mode to editing and maintaining source code in  
other languages.  The Org-babel Introduction includes an example of  
how to manage an emacs configuration in Org-mode:

Eric Schulte has an emacs starter kit with a very useful  
implementation of this idea:

hth,
Tom
