Kill off the Khans. Either they stay in the Mojave and continue raiding and drug pushing, or they leave and form a rival nation that could threaten your power.
Kill the Brotherhood to. They'll want the technology of the Dam and the Securitrons for themselves and won't look kindly on you sharing it with the Wasteland.
Maybe keep the Vault Powder Gangers so they'll continue attacking the NCR.
Get the Misfits addicted to psycho. They'll tear the Legion a new one, then turn on caravans, fostering backlash against the NCR and disrupting their retreat.
In the same vein, play along with King's Gambit Moore's way. Once all the Kings are dead, go to James Garret to and pay 1,500 caps to erase your bad rep. Not only will have crushed the stubbornly independent power of Freeside (though you probably should kill the Van Graffs as well) and left it ripe for the taking, your mob connection will erase your part in it, leaving the NCR with all the blame. Once the battle is over, your Securitrons can roll in with no resistance, and you'll look like a big damn hero for kicking out the NCR.
Oh, and kill the Fiends. That goes without saying.
