Have you seen Export/Collect and Virtual Resources?

I don't think there is an easy way to do what you are looking for -
perhaps Luke or Andrew can shed some light on how you might go about
doing that.
My gut tells me that you would need your eval function to somehow call
the parser on your snippet, then insert the resulting resources into
the graph... but I have no idea where you would begin to do that.
I know some tricks like this have been played by inserting resources
directly into the database and doing an export/collect like
operation..
