Given those items, and only those items, is there anything that can be done?
Adding a uC or a CPLD at this stage adds testing time, development time,
and it's not what we'll need for the eventual solution, so I'd rather
avoid it if possible.

Yes, but I was wondering if there was an even
less involved solution.
On the 64, the decoded IO at the user port makes this a trivial task,
and I'm not sure if the AppleII has a serial card or not.
Take a look at my
second reply. SPI to 8-bit parallel using a CPLD.
But for the Apple code, no software in the bridge itself.
