You could imitate it by using multiple transparent copies of the object, 
which is how the patch actually did its work. I think transmit will give 
the most correct results in this case. The original patch kind of 
treated the body of the motion blur statement as the body of a loop, and 
parsed it several times with different clock values. Just make sure to 
set the max_trace_level high enough...

The only other way I can think of would be to somehow indicate the 
object's motion by its effect on the rest of the scene, a rubber ball 
with a falling stack of cans behind it for example. You really need 
motion blur for a realistic effect...
