I'm not sure what you mean.  Are you wanting to add a higher-frequency
noise to a lower-frequency heightfield (i.e. more than one noise sample
per pixel)?

There is a way you can fake it with the iso patch, though it's probably
kinda slow.  The 3.1e superpatch has a pigment function that, afaik, 
should work with an interpolated imagemap to give you a nice isosurface
approximation of a heightfield.  Once you get that working, you can 
then add any function you want to it, including noise.
