This really has nothing to do with normals, it is a pigment...are you 
asking about a pattern version of this that takes the grayscale value of 
the color as the value of the pattern? Or are you talking about filters 
for the output of the pigment, similar to some of the post_process 
filters?
You will be able to affect the general color of objects seen through the 
portal with transmit and filter keywords, but for more than that you 
might have to layer textures or even objects. Maybe what you want could 
be done as a generalized filter that will work on all pigments...but 
that would be a different patch.
