It's not really possible, I asked the same question here before when I was doing dot3 stuff in blitz.

The closest I came was to allign a pivot to the target vector, then tform the tangent vector by that. 

            PointEntity lpiv1,spiv
		PointEntity spiv,lpiv1
		
	
		AlignToVector spiv,nox,noy,noz,0
		AlignToVector spiv,nox,noy,noz,2
			
	
		TFormVector2(vx,vy,vz,nox,noy,noz)
		ar=128.0+(128.0*TFormedX())
		ag=128.0+(128.0*TFormedY())
		ab=128.0+(128.0*TFormedZ())


vx,vy,vz=vertex position, nox,noy etc=normal.lpiv being a pivot at the vertex position and spiv, being a pivot projected in the direction of the target vector.
