This seems to have changed with Xcode 4 ... if you click on a file, group or project, amongst the items in the Utilities bar (at the right-hand side, by default) is 'Text Settings'.

To set indentation per file, select the file in the Project Navigator, and set indentation in the File Inspector ▶ Text Settings.
