Xastir has a couple of tools to help with this. 

First are the display levels, so you don't display busy/detailed maps at higher levels. That's pretty easy, although you may need to play around a bit to get it just the way you like it. 

The other thing is editing the dbfawk if you're using a shapefile. You can cause labels to not display even though features are still there, and depending on the data available in the shapefile cause smaller features to drop out at higher zoom levels.  This requires a bit more work, but if you have a dbfawk to start with its certainly doable.
