In the App Hub forums I came across a discussion of data binding on a pivot item. http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/p/67287/412542.aspx. In one of his replies Peter Daukintis gave a link to his skydrive to download a basic example. (I love it when people actually provide a working example to play with).
This is an interesting example of using C# to create new pivot items and I am enjoying trying to dissect this example.
