Yep, there's a way, you have to play with the angle of incidence. I
don't know if it will work the way you want for your object, but I did
a planetary atmosphere and had the glow just around the edges (as seen
by the camera), it's done with Digital Carver's Guild fake fresnel.
How this might work on a solid object I'm not sure, but it is worth a
try.
I used it in the glow channel (and for this, the transparency channel
as well).
