You can tell Emacs not to indent namespaces by putting:

  (add-to-list 'c++-mode-hook (lambda () (c-set-offset 'innamespace 0)))

in your ~/.emacs file.

More clever would be to add a hook that looks at the "namespace" line,
and bases its decision to indent or not on some sort of context, e.g.,
if there's a comment saying "// noindent", it wouldn't indent (or the
opposite if not indenting is more common).  [Basically you write a
lisp function, and use it's name in place of the "0" above; see the
info node "(ccmode) c-offsets-alist" for details.]

As such conventions often vary among _projects_, an altnerative would
be to place an appropriate ".dir-locals.el" file in the root of source
trees; see the info node "(emacs) Directory Variables" for details.
