The code needed on the gnome-bluetooth side is one function, akin to the one in the gnome-bluetooth plugin for nm-applet to switch on PAN. It's more finding the time to write the NM code that's the problem ;) In the meanwhile, you can use pand on your "server". There's already pretty good pages on how to do that. On the connecting side, you can then use gnome-bluetooth to pair and enable the connection to that machine.
