Thanks for all the recommendations that everybody made here.
I will start scouring the file sharing networks to see which ones I can find.

My own favourite at the moment is A Lodging of Wayfaring Men, but this is
more about sustainable communities than garden based permaculture.
If you have not read it you can download it here.

The real lack of permaculture in science fiction and fantasy was bought home
to me yesterday when I attended Asia's largest cosplay convention. 
Youngsters everywhere were snapping up LRP swords and playing shoot em up
type video games.
I just wish that there had been some permaculture type role models for them
to draw influence from.  Maybe a sacred food forest druid or an Alan Moore
type Swamp Thing creature.  It was sad that everything was based almost
solely around sex and violence.  Even Avatar seemed to have made very little
impact.  I do hope that this can change in the future.

Well, here is perhaps the most bizarrie request for information on
nutritional requirements and crop removal rates made to date: PONGAMIA -
a tree native to India (or, Hindustan, if you like).

Here are the seemingly most relevant references viewed so far:
http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Pongamia_pinnata.html
http://www.winrock.org/fnrm/factnet/factpub/FACTSH/P_pinnata.html
http://www.svlele.com/karanj.htm
http://www.worldagroforestrycentre.org/sea/Products/AFDbases/AF/asp/SpeciesInfo.asp?SpID32
http://www.appropedia.org/Pongamia
http://www.cilr.uq.edu.au/UserImages/File/factsheets/Pongamia%20Binder1.pdf
http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/documents/Biosecurity_EnvironmentalPests/IPA-Pongamia-Risk-Assessment.pdf
http://www.ccjc-beijing.com/manage/images/2011315203438.pdf
http://www.indg.in/rural-energy/technologies-under-rural-energy/energy-production/pongamia

...but have viewed very, very many [obtaining to be irrelevant to the
question] more.

None
of these make much, if any, mention of cultivation practices - and
nothing at all about nutritional requirements or crop removal rates.
