Find 2 unused GPIOs (or free used ones, like LEDs, Buttons), connect a 2-10 kOhm resister between each of them and Vcc, install i2c-gpio-custom. Or, get a supported USB-I2C adaptor - depends, if you can live with the downsides of hotplug interfaces.

thanks for direction. seems you are exactly correct, and this is what i will have to do.
looks like it should be very doable.

(alas, it requires some very tiny, precise soldering)

The discussion might have continued from here.
