Hypothetically, if 401k's and roth iras would let you invest in levered index funds (S&P, international, bonds), would it be worth investing in a 2x or 3x levered fund over a nonlevered? If you could also change the investment strategy, i.e. only invest in levered for the first 20 years, then switch to nonlevered, would that make a difference in terms of acceptable risk, etc...

Unfortunately, the levered ETFs suffer slippage if you hold them long term. You can visit ishares, proshares, and other ETF providers and read how the levered ETFs don't track the underlying index when held longer than a daily basis.
^^ Exactly! The prospectuses for levered ETFs state that they are supposed to be used for the short term. Over the mid to long term (12+ months), they do no correlate very closely to the underlying indices.
