Brendan, I've made a lot of PC boards where I ignored the unused pins.  Power
consumption was really never an issue because I was always running of a wall
wart.  Even so, I can't imagine that the power consumed by an unused pin
would be significant.  And I have followed the same procedure with the
"other" micro-processor.
