I probably would drill and dowel freehand from the back. A drill press isn't really necessary here. It allows a little more control, but once you get the hole started, it's going to be straight and will accept the dowel just the same. Freehand is fine, just drill a smaller hole first, then drill out for a pair of 1/2" dowels. Shave a flat side on them, coat it with glue, hammer in from the back, saw flush, a touch up with a Sharpie, and you can relax.
