I havnt visited in a while so may have missed any revolutions in the FCP situation. Any ways of importing 720p pn 25fps into FCP yet?
 
Yes, with "P2 Log", a $99 utility, you can work with 720p50 codec material inside FCP.
Basically you will use P2 log to transcode the files into QT files and a metadata XML file, replacing the normal "Import Panasonic P2" step you normally do inside FCP.

The transcodig is of cause lossless as it's basically a repackageing the P2 files into QT containers.
 
You need to make a duplicate of one of the 720p60 codec sequence presets, and change the framerate to 25 fps.
You can do that in Audio/Video settings and then "Sequence Presets"

Anders,

Is it also possible to do over and undercrank in the camera and use them in those new sequence presets?

Thanx,
Phil.

If you overcrank/undercrank you should use it in the same sequence preset (25 fps) but you might have to open the clip (after import and conversion to QT) in Cinema tools to conform the clip to 25 fps. It depends on your recording setup.
PN material will be conformed to 25 fps automatically.
