Unless one of the gurus has a magic way (in which case I'll quickly lift it, giving credit where due), I can't think of a way to do what you want off the top of my head with CSS. At least using anything excluding "CSS 3". If you have flash experience, or know someone who does, I would suggest taking the Flash route, and placing the image map info into it as a fallback if they don't have flash installed. A List Apart has an excellent article[1] regarding Flash, standards, and at the end provides a fallback example. If you don't have experience or the capability, there's always the fallback to Javascript.
