I have rigged a number of BC's with crotch straps. It probably is not a big deal. First you have to realize that if the crotch strap should somehow fail, the consequences would be negligibe, so don't worry too much about it.
I generally try to drill 2 small holes in the plastic backplate and then run a cord or something through the hole(s) to make a small circular loop which serves as an attachement point. As mentioned, you need to be careful not to puncture the air cell, so blow it up full and then figure out a way to do it. Some BC's with a soft pack may be a little harder to figure a way. You might even have to hand sew a small loop to the soft part of the BC, but don't puncture it.
Show us a good photograph of the central bottom portion of the BC from each side.
