Huh, I hadn't looked at the original message I'd sent months ago.  That does look to be the same recipe I'm using today.  I'll take a look back through my local commit log and see if I can find something else that I changed with my setup.  But, the state recipe definitely is providing opkg support with my current build environment setup with poky/dylan-9.0.1.
