I own an handy-board now for 2 months and
I have now 2 GP2D02 connected to it. (took me 1 hour to hook them up and
test)
You need a digital output-pin(like one off the spi-pins) or
make use of the expansion-board, which has digital outputs.
I created my own expansion board with 16 digitial out, 16 analog in and 8
digital in.
I make use of a like wise pgm as found on:
http://arielle.informatik.uni-kl.de/Lehre/Praktikum/PSD-IC.html
Doing the High/Low setting of Vin is done differently than this example,
because
they use a peculiar, but interesting way of doing digital output.
When you are interested I can post you my source.

BTW the differences in readings on the same distance between the 2 PSDs is
quite large.
A reading on 50cm differs 16.
This means that when you are interested in the absolute distance, you need
to build specific
lookup tables per PSD.

      If anyone who has successfully interfaced the GP2D02 to the
      Handyboard would share that knowledge with the less experienced,
      it would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks!
