I kicked base pi around just a little and discussed it with a mathematician. He thinks it would be totally unmanagable for integers above three.

I tentatively conclude that you wouldn't use integer digits--you'd use formulas. Also that there might be aliens who were so good at math that they'd do non-integer bases for the fun of it--it would be like making doilies.
