There's sh-script.el. You can use that for many different shells. Newer
versions also support indentation (not as fancy as c-mode or cperl though).
Didn't like the default indentation though, cause it looked like:

if [ ... ]
    then
    ...
fi

for ...
  do
  ...
done


I had to tweak a few variables to change it to e.g.

if [ ... ]
then
    ...
fi

for ...
do
    ...
done
