Thomas K, Your suggestion set me on the right track. Half-Life's version of navigation is Nodegraphs, and in order to get any NPC to jump off ledges, you would look into info_node_hint entities in Hammer, with the Hint set to Override jump permission set and positioned where the landing should be. It looks a little hokey, but the functionality is pretty much what I want. Thanks!
