Hmmm perhaps I'm mis-interpreting what you want when you say pass-like.

I'd interpreted it as you wanted to have a separate shader tree for
each frame buffer. Which means that mental ray is calculating the data
for each framebuffer. The existing system with its pass-through node
is particularly efficient because it takes a value which has been
calculated already, places it in the framebuffer, then passes the
value on for where ever it was originally intended.
Cheers,
Alan.
