Stan Wagon just showed me a trick to do this. With Mma 3.0 you can specify the normal vector of a polygon overriding its true normal. The trick is then to find a value for the normal which will have it point in the direction to receive a given shading. Check the yellow (?) book titled something like "Graphics in Mathematica" for the normal specification.
