Hi Rusty, This is something we've planned to support all along, we just haven't gotten around to it yet. There's an issue filed for it here: http://code.google.com/p/datanucleus-appengine/issues/detail?id=86
(already quite a few stars) There are 2 things that make this work complicated. The first is explained in the above issue (no way to resolve unowned relationships inside a txn due to multiple entity groups). The second is that we need to start storing the Keys of the referenced objects in a list property on the parent. This is optional for owned relationships because we can use an ancestor query to find children (this is what we do now), but required for unowned relationships because there's no other way to store the relationship. This is one of the things I've been working on the last few weeks, and once this work is done it unlocks a ton of good stuff, including unowned relationships.
