I've searched through some older threads about cold crashing, but most of them appear to pertain to kegging. If I'm going to directly bottle a beer without kegging first, will there still be sufficient yeast in suspension to carbonate the bottles even after the cold crash? Or should I plan on pitching a little dry yeast into the bottling bucket?

There will still be enough yeast. I normally cold crash all of my beers for at least 3 days prior to bottling. Always enough yeasties still around to make bubbles. :)
