Hmmm.
If you have all of the objects as object{}s, then you could
1. Use the object pattern and take a thin slice out of the center.
2. Apply a pigment map that is clear except for a slice in the center.
3. Use an infinitely scaled object pattern in a function

4. scale the objects _really thin_
aside from that, maybe you could use trace()
OR
If you just define the object's pigment with a finish {diffuse 0} and give it a
face-on lighting with a hard shadow, then maybe that would give you a real
optical silhouette.
There was that discussion a while back about offset curves / shells, so you
could likely use that to make an isosurface shell...
That's it off the top of my head.
