Yes, I think they serve networking purposes - like-minded clans can mix and match clanmates to fireteams if they choose. That said, Deej explained the true reasoning behind alliances in an interview with Guardian Radio Network : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3HDC3EIOXM .Start at about the 35:00 mark. Rather than attempt to paraphrase him, I'll just let him speak for himself :). I think you'll understand where Bungie was going with clans and alliances. I'm sure things will evolve over time. Bungie will react to the needs of its community. But that was the basic gist.
