We been getting are mill up to speed at our makerspace and one of our members brought in his personal version of Mach to test out the gecko drivers and motors on the machine.  (It was very nice) As far as I can tell, there is the LinuxCNC  configuration tool for a parallel port but nothing for a BBB.   Is that correct?

That is correct.

There are however lots of sample configs here
https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/tree/master/configs/ARM/BeagleBone

and here for 3D printing
http://www.machinekit.io/docs/index-fdm.

Machinekit is however nothing to do with BBB, it is simply that it will run on it.

You can just install Machinekit on whatever x86 desktop was used to test Mach and either use stepconf and configure it to use the parallel port
or use a Mesa card and use pncconf to configure.

Far easier.
