First an apology from me, Andrew.  I thought I had already replied to 
your post, but I can find no record of that.  Perhaps I started looking 
into things and got side-tracked without following up.

Given a cursory glance, it would seem doable.  One would need to 
copy/borrow the existing logic for \path and then add a suitable 
"setdash" command to the PostScript output and an equivalent 
"stroke-dasharray" attribute to the SVG output.  Looking at how 
\draw-dashed-line works should provide a useful reference.
