Fractured geo and smoothing groups

I've read a few posts about explicit normals, fracturing and smoothing groups.  Definitely on a wish list.  Has any type of workaround other than masking between 2 passes been proposed?  I even tried particle skinning the same object with a smoothed clone hoping to fool the system.

Nope, gotta do it in comp.
