The jsmith loginId is easy (principal.getName()), but I can't seem to pull the user.name.family and user.name.given attributes from the attributes map structure - either I get an empty string, or the line of velocity code appears verbatim. The attributes are present, as I can access them from portlet Java code.

How about this:

#if ($request.getUserPrincipal())
<span 
class="layout-statusarea"><b>$jetspeed.getUserAttribute("user.name.given","") 
$jetspeed.getUserAttribute("user.name.family", 
${request.userPrincipal.name})</b> | <a 
href="#BaseHref()login/logout">Log out</a></span>
#end
