Most BeagleBone projects these days are using I2C for LCD interfacing, which 
would free up those pins.

It looks like Elias Bakken has updated the PyPRUSS repo to support direct DDR 
streaming to and from a userland Python process and the PRU, so it's no longer 
just a simple interface for flashing the PRU's firmware:

Note that the LCD shares pins with the PRU1 I/O pins, so you mostly
can't use the available LCD/DVI/HDMI interfaces w/o giving up a bunch
of PRU pins.  :(
