The dark wood around the knot indicates that it is a "dead knot" and would
have fallen out at any time. You can glue it back in using CA glue or epoxy.
You might also want to consider just filling the hole with colloured epoxy
and making a feature of it.

While turning a roughly 10" pine bowl tonight--more an exercise than an
attempt at a finished product--a knot caught on my bowl gouge and flipped
out, leaving a gaping knothole. Can such knots be glued back in place,
and
with what level of success or appearance? Would colored epoxy (stained
with
carbon) be suitable, as the wood around the knot is dark, almost black?
