Appears it was rather simple. I've put together a Restful Controller template using the Zend_Rest_Controller Abstract. Simply replace the no_results return values with a native php object containing the data you want returned. Comments welcome.

db = Zend_Db::factory($config->resources->db);
        $this->no_results = array('status' => 'NO_RESULTS');
    }

    /**
     * List
     *
     * The index action handles index/list requests; it responds with a
     * list of the requested resources.
     * 
     * @return json
     */
    public function indexAction()
    {
        // do some processing...
        // Send the JSON response:
        $this->_helper->json($this->no_results);
    }
    // 1.9.2 fix
    public function listAction() { return $this->_forward('index'); }

    /**
     * View
     *
     * The get action handles GET requests and receives an 'id' parameter; it 
     * responds with the server resource state of the resource identified
     * by the 'id' value.
     * 
     * @param integer $id
     * @return json
     */
    public function getAction()
    {
        $id = $this->_getParam('id', 0);

        // do some processing...
        // Send the JSON response:
        $this->_helper->json($this->no_results);
    }

    /**

     * POSTed resource representation and persists the resource state.

    public function postAction()

        $id = $this->_getParam('id', 0);
        $my = $this->_getAllParams();
