Just a thought, but if the taper pin is broken, wouldn't it be possible to
disconnect the slave cylinder linkage from the gearbox cross shaft arm and
then rotate the cross shaft 360 degrees by hand? Not sure if this is
necessarily the case, but if it'd work, it would sure beat pulling the
gearbox to find a good taper pin.
Or...what if you removed the locking bolt and grease zerk from the end of
the cross shaft (the end opposite the slave cylinder), disconnected the
slave and then tried to pull out the shaft? If the taper pin is broken,
wouldn't you be able to do this?

No, the pin never breaks off cleanly. it only allows limited movement with
considerable force. Force typical in the disengagement of the clutch but
much greater than what you can apply by hand.
