You don't need PAN just to pair bluetooth devices. PAN is needed if you want 
to create a TCP/IP network over bluetooth (devices must have been paired 
before that).

IMHO the wiki explains it pretty good:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_Bluetooth#Scanning_for_bluetooth_devices

Also the section about networking clearly describes the situation with PAND + 
Bluez4...
