Only if you believe in the people (and to a lesser degree the project) then I'd say it'd be good to consider it. Or if you're independently wealthy enough and value the y-comb experience that much.

If they do not cough up equity or salary then they don't believe in you. Which should be a red flag, you are letting the fact that they got into YC blind you to the fact that it is a bad deal all the way around. It is the only reason I could fathom that someone would even be entertaining such a deal.
