So would the basic psuedo code be something like...

MyPowerof2Surface = SDL_CreateRGBSurface();

SMPEG_setdisplay( Handle, MyPowerof2Surface , NULL, MyOpenGLCallBack );

then in

MyOpenGLCallBack()
{
   Grab MyPowerof2Surface
   Render it onto a quad
}

Is this roughly right?  Do I have to make use of the SurfaceLock mutex 
at any point or can I safely ignore it?

How does this method differ to the render-to-texture method you mentioned?
