Ok, it's there:
  urd:/home/reagle/data/2web/reagle.org/joseph> ls
  1996/  2002/  base.css  images/     plan/       tb.cgi
  2001/  2003/  blog      index.html  pyblosxom/  weblog/
"blog" is the pybloxsom.cgi renamed and enabled by an apacahe .htaccess .

The following URL:
  http://reagle.org/joseph/tb.cgi
complains that config is not known, so if I modify tb.cgi to have:
  import sys
  sys.path.append("/home/reagle/data/2web/reagle.org/joseph/pyblosxom/web")
I get XML back of the form:
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
  <response>
  <error>1</error>
  <message>not trackback</message>
  </response>
and trying to post a comment

I'm still confused, it sounds like trackback.cgi *is* mandatory to use the 
comments.

Most of the examples give the trackback url as:
  /blog/tb.cgi?__mode=list&amp;tb_id=$tb_id
which makes we wonder how folks are putting the tb.cgi is a "virtual" space 
served by an apache rewrite... maybe another rewrite... Or maybe that's 
just the approach I took. In any case, it'd probably be useful for 
pyblosxom to come with comments and trackbacks enabled, and then a user 
could easily turn them off with the config.ini
