Since the fixed function pipeline can't do shadows natively you have to write your own shaders. I have plans to get shader composition for the OSG which would be able to replace the fixed function pipeline with shaders, but it'll be a while before I get the time to return to tackling this particular task. Once we have shader composition should be easier to support dropping provided more flexible shadow support, but shader composition is far from trivial, very much at the cutting edge of scene graphs. Until then you'll need to write your own shaders, but this is pretty standard practice these days, often developers will do everything with shaders.
