Well, I guess all that needed was a little more time to figure it out -- apologies for jumping the gun. In case it's useful for others, here's what worked for me...


Step 1: create a plugin with hook location forumdisplay_query and the code

PHP Code:

$hook_query_fields .= ", thread.firstpostid AS firstpostid"; 


This makes the thread's firstpostid available in threadbit.


Step 2: create a plugin with hook location threadbit_display and the code

PHP Code:

$firstpostinfo = fetch_postinfo($thread[firstpostid]);
$thread_thanks_amount = $firstpostinfo[post_thanks_amount]; 


This makes the number of thank-yous applied to the thread's first post available to the threadbit template.

Step 3: use $thread_thanks_amount in the threadbit template to your heart's content.
