one idea: try adding clone vareas, but with smaller pwidth and
an impossible SQL where clause so nothing is ever drawn to the
map. Then use those mini-patterns in the vlegend. 
Use 'lpos 0' for the real areas so that they don't get added
to the legend.

if you are comfortable tweaking and recompiling C code there are
other options...
