Oh! Right. I was just now reading through the Brandonothology for the first time, and saw the stuff about Hoid's activities during the Mistborn books. So yeah, it seems all the more likely that Hoid is an Allomancer. (And he even could have eaten multiple beads, making him very powerful.)
On the other hand, even if he now uses Allomancy for longevity or time-dilation now, I have a hard time believing that he didn't already have some method of prolonged survival. If he didn't, that would put all of the Cosmere stories prior to Mistborn within a normal human lifespan. That seems unlikely.
