I did find another post that addresses this somewhat:
http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears/browse_thread/thread/4b17375d1c0e6ff0/216c1374716f7812?lnk=gst&q=VisitIdentity#216c1374716f7812
The most helpful part to me will be the following calls:
ident = tg.identity.current_provider.validate_identity(username,
password, cherrypy.request.tg_visit.key)
tg.identity.set_current_identity(ident)
We'll see where this goes.
