Nuthin' to it. Mask around the area you want sharp, then invert the mask.
Experiment with either the blur filters or the blending brushes 'til you get
the effect you want on the background. Violas and violins! Instant bokeh.
To compress the image as tho' it were taken with a longer lens, enlarge or
shrink the masked area 'til it "looks right" relative to the foreground and
background. I've actually done this in Corel Photo-Paint to fix a
commercial image so the curbside sign looked better proportioned alongside
the building.

Great, so what are the photoshop manipulations I need to apply to get a
200/4 image looking like it was taken with a 250/2 ? ;-)

cast or "flavour" of the lens doesn't matter to me.
