In MegaPOV, you could write a function to do it...it would be more 
difficult to do in the current official version, but not impossible.
A gradient density_map of a lot of different versions of the same 
cylinderical density, but with constantly decreasing scale would 
probably do the job. You would want to use a loop to generate it though.
