<Speculation>

The 566 VCO has a linear response.... couldn't you just remove the expo 
section of Tom Henry's circuit, and simply level-shift your linear CV to the 
appropriate range for the 566? (I don't know if it would need a resistor 
divider or some type of amplification... and I don't have a V/Hz system to 
experiment with)
