Dagwolf - its very likely as about 2 years ago Google applied for - and was approved for - registrar status. The purpose behind this originally was published as they were getting into the domain sales game similar to what Yahoo does - some insiders also hinted that since being a registrar allows Google to run scripts against the whois database - and with a little investigation and testing you will find that they definitely do check that.
In answer to the doorway pages question - it really depends on how you do it - there are ways to do it that havent been mentioned here that, while not looking like conventional text stuffed pages, have the same effect and can be on the main domain and work extremely well. Hit me up if ya need examples.
If you stay with conventional doorway page approaches - and do them on the main domain, there is a "small" possibility that the SEs might find it.
On putting them on other domains pointing to the main domain - I would worry more about the canconical error problems Google is having right now which would keep me from doing it - but then, some people are not seeing the problem with small attempts. My personal experience has been for larger sites Google is splitting the pages in an unreasonable way which has a larger effect than the benefit of the extra search terms
