Of course, the consequence would be that all negative numbers would have to be represented as bignums. I kind of doubt that performance would increase... ;-)

No, I don't think you'll be able to find someone willing to rewrite the entire Pike code to facilitate a unsigned int type.
It might be possible to compile Pike using unsigned INT32 as INT_TYPE. Maybe most of the neccesary checks are already there... Hmm. It might not be what one really want, though. :)
