I've now downloaded and built iiwusynth, but I get
iiwusynth: error: Error opening ALSA raw MIDI port

do I need to set the -M option of iiwusynth to something - if so what?

It seems iiwusynth tries to read MIDI data from a raw MIDI port, but you
want it to run as an ALSA sequencer client.
Try "-m alsa_seq -a alsa".

I've now succeeded in getting pmidi to play a midi file using iiwusynth in the way you suggested

iiwusynth -m alsa_seq -a alsa <SF2 soundfont>
pmidi -p 128:0 <midi file>

where pmidi is talking to /dev/snd/seq
However, /dev/sequencer still cannot be used as eg Rosegarden expects. This seems tantalizingly close - the module snd-seq-oss looks like it ought to act as a go-between for /dev/sequencer and /dev/snd/seq, but I haven't figured out how. Any ideas?
