I'm not familiar with the Alchemy engine, but I'm using an engine that also does not support composite/blend maps so I'll ask this question:
Does Alchemy support multilayered maps? The engine that we use (which is Macromedia Director's shockwave3d) allows up to 8 textures in a single shader, but these have to be layered in code. If your engine has a simliar support issue, you may need to bring the shadow map in seperately and apply it in code.

This may not help you in the slightest, but that's my suggestion.:)
