Very difficult - check the list archives (keyword probably 'CSG').
Not impossible, but (I think the conclusion was) it would require
being able to derive the intersection surface patches for all of
the supported ODE primitive collision combinations, and inside/outside
CSG between the resulting solids formed by those patches too.  No quick
hackaround.
