: You're getting into "re-implementing the engine" territory there.
: In which case you might as well use volumetric sectors instead of
: polygons, define the edges as portals, and go freakin' NUTS. Most of the
: portal tricks I've used have been in the aid of faking what Marathon
: already did, in the form of 5-D space...
Technically, Marathon's 5D space IS the result of portals technology. Marathon uses a portal-based engine; you just can't link your polygon edges (portals) to anywhere but another adjacent polygon edge. ("Polygons" here being used in the Marathon sense, which are actually volumes; not in the general 3D geometry sense of "triangles").
