I found a post in the archives from Martijn Pieters that put me on the
right track so I've got something that works for me:

from Products.ExternalMethod.ExternalMethod import ExternalMethod

def addExternalMethod(self, id, title, module, function, REQUEST=None):
    """Add an external method to a folder"""
    id=str(id)
    title=str(title)
    module=str(module)
    function=str(function)
    i=ExternalMethod(id,title,module,function)
    self._setObject(id,i)

def initialize(context):
    """Initialize"""
    addExternalMethod(context._ProductContext__app, "id", "title",
"module", "func")
