I´ve done it with a old medium format camera, and had good results.
You can asume that the focal length is the distance between the plate
(where the pinhole is) and the film plane. You can measure it opening
the camera back and puting the shuter speed in B, open the shuter and
measure it.
Then, if you asume, also, that the aperture is the pinhole diameter,
you can calculate the f number for your camera. You cant vary this f
number ( except, of course, varing the pinhole-to-film distance or the
pinhole diameter) so you must calculate the exposure time for it.
