The blackboard bold font in the AMSFonts package only has capital letters. I sometimes wish to use a blackboard bold "1", for which I can use \usepackage{bbold}. But this changes the entire blackboard bold font, and I like the original AMSFonts versions of the capital letters better. Is there a simple way for me to get \mathbb{1} from one package and the blackboard bold capitals from another?

Try \let\mathbblatin\mathbb after \usepackage{amssymb}, but before \usepackage{mtpro2}.
Then \mathbblatin{N} in your document. This should give you the AMS blackboard bold N.
Imho they don't fit. It would be better to take all from mathbbol. But if you want it, you only need to reset mathbb:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage[bbgreekl]{mathbbol}
\DeclareSymbolFontAlphabet{\mathbbm}{bbold}
\DeclareSymbolFontAlphabet{\mathbb}{AMSb}%
\begin{document}
$\mathbb{ABCD} \mathbbm{abcdelki} \bbalpha \bbomega $
\end{document}

This doesn't exactly answer your question (how to use
bboldwith AMS's black board bold characters). I believe that would require some TeX incantations.A cheaper work around is to use either the package
bbmor the packagedoublestroke. The former defines the\mathbbmcommand and the latter uses the\mathdscommand, so they don't conflict with the AMS\mathbb. Also asthetically I prefer thebbmfonts overbboldsince the latter is sans serif, which doesn't quite fit in right against the AMS serifed fonts.
