Well  you are bringing out the serial lines already so that would be just 
one extra pin on your connector.  However, I presume there are reasons you 
are reluctant to do that.

There was an earlier thread (loading hex-es) where we speculated about 
simply clearing the first area of flash and then resetting to induce the 
LPC to enter program mode as if it were a new (or misprogrammed) 
part.  Since no one has done this yet AFAIK you should test this before 
committing to using it with encapsulated boards.  It does look like a 
reasonable idea though.
