(answering myself)

Yep, there is no pin helper, and the hcid doesn't support a shell script
one any more (dbus only). I was able to build the bluez-gnome OE
package and run its bluetooth-applet, but it's very rough - no icons,
no registration of the .desktop, and a bunch of complaints from the
daemon. However, it did take down the pin and allowed the connection!

I'll fiddle with it some more and see if I can get it to install cleanly. I'll
let you know.

Tom.
