Apparently it's stored in the Policy key of a volume's Spotlight-V100/_IndexPolicy.plist file (when it exists, e.g. created with mdutil). And creating a .metadata_never_index file in a volume's root directory may be another way to disable indexing. There's also a magic .metadata_index_homes_only file. I haven't tested either of those and wouldn't rely on them anyway.
