Matt,
I don't know whether you has access to SEM programs or not but they would be the method of choice because you can fit the entire model (mixed model plus the dichotomous DV) in one instance. Example programs would be Mplus, EQS, Lisrel, MX. I assume Amos will as well but i am not sure about it. With Mplus, the mixed model part of the model is limited to two levels or three levels if the lowest level is repeated measures.
That aside, I wonder if you could extract the intercept and curve coefficients from the predicted values. I explicitly assume a growth curve model when i suggest this. If you had a linear slope model, the predicted values would fit the algebra equation for a line for each level 2 person: y=mx+b. I have not tried this so there could easily be something that i have missed or do not understand.
