PAUL, this is possible, and with Jmol 11.3.46 it will be especially good.

# 1: create the surfaceDistance property values

select whatever; calculate surface

# 2: create the isosurface

isosurface select(someAtoms) ignore(whatever) sasurface /* or MOLECULAR 
*/ map property surfaceDistance


In the current version of Jmol, this produces sort of a patchy 
isosurface, because the color of any piece of the isosurface due to a 
given atom is based on just that atom's property value. In Jmol 11.3.46 
this will be much smoother. The patchy look can be created if desired using

  set isosurfacePropertySmoothing false
