This is an asterisk-users question, and would have been more appropriate to have 
asked there.

Instead of setting up your conferences in meetme.conf, you could set them up 
dynamically in the dialplan, and then you can control whether the user is 
prompted for a pin or not when joining the conference, based on whatever logic 
you want.

Something like the following could work (untested):

exten => start,1,NoOp()
exten => start,n,Set(PIN=1234)
exten => start,n,Set(USER_MUST_ENTER_PIN=${IF($[${CUT(CHANNEL,-,1)} != 
SIP/myself]1:0)})
exten => start,n,MeetMe(7070,d${IF($["${USER_MUST_ENTER_PIN}" = "1"]?,${PIN})})
exten => start,n,Hangup()
