You could create a drop shadow effect by adding another background text frame behind the text frame containing the chapter number with the chapnum variable in it formatted to for example a light grey. THen shift this text frame down and to the left or right a step or two. That would approximate a shadow effect.
I don't have FM open now, so maybe it'll look like total crap, but it might be worth a shot, and would be easier than creating custom graphics for lots of chapter numbers. HTH.
