It would be great if there was a single place in system settings to set up the user's local weather provider so that the various apps and plasmoids that use such info could know what to default to. It'd be even cooler if weather station choice could be tied into geo positioning so that you could get things like auto set weather station to current location if available, that sort of thing.

Possible, there is hooks now for this. There is more work needed though. Geolocation isn't perfect and as we get more data sources for weather this should hopefully improve.

Shouldn't this be part of akonadi?

No, it should probably be part of the geolocating engine.

geolocating engine would find where are you, but search engine like forecast from BBC, acuwather, yahoo or any local provider is a matter of personal choose. Also data is usually updated, like RSS, so akonadi looks like the best place to put this.
