Thanks!

I guess I don't have enough "plumbing" quite yet. I have all the master 
branches of everything I need and I cherry picked Brendan's npm.bbclass 
but I still get:

$ bitbake forever

ERROR: ExpansionError during parsing 
/z/layerindex-master/layers/meta-brendan-nodepkgs/recipes-node/once/once_1.3.3.bb: 
Failure expanding variable do_fetch[file-checksums], expression was 
${@bb.fetch.get_checksum_file_list(d)} ${@get_lic_checksum_file_list(d)} 
which triggered exception NoMethodError: Could not find a fetcher which 
supports the URL: 'npm://registry.npmjs.org;name=once;version=1.3.3'

I'm not sure if this error is complaining about a fetcher issue (which I 
can't figure out because bitbake does have the commits with support for 
npm://) or a license/checksum error.
