You wouldn't ask if you wouldn't know if it was possible, would you?
Actually, this is already half a year old stuff. I attached the file, so
that you (and others) can test it; you need acrobat 4 or gs>5.50 or so.

Take a look at the support module I'll send you. It's just a matter of
defining a few MPgraphics. It is not finished, since matthew baker will
first have to work out some decent arbitrary shading schemes (for which I
lack the math basics). These are only simple shades.
