There is no way to get layers ingame. You can't even get a reference to any part of the 3do itself, as the collision detection is using a bounding cylinder thingie, if I remember correctly.
The link above explains the best method to simulate regional damage, but it is really just a half step ahead of random decision...

A while ago I wrote a bare-bones layout for regional damage (borrowing detection methods from General Ramen and Hideki). I can basically detect wherever the body is hit (assuming the code works -- I haven't tested it).
If it does work, this is probably about as good as you're gonna get in JK, since, yeah, there's no layer detection.
Code: 
touched:
	bullet = GetSenderRef();
	victim = GetSourceRef();
	vec1 = VectorSub(GetThingPos(victim), GetThingPos(bullet));
	dot = VectorDot(vec1,GetThingLVec(victim));
	if(dot > 0.85) [front blow]
	else if(dot < -0.85) [rear blow]
	else if(dot > -0.4 && dot < 0.4) [side blow]
	else [diagonal side blow]

	height = VectorZ(GetThingPos(bullet)) - VectorZ(GetThingPos(victim));
	if(height < -0.25) [low shot, maybe the legs and lower]
	else if(height > 0.25) [high shot -- about chest level and up]
	else [gut shot :P]
stop;
May the mass times acceleration be with you.

That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this thread, but you were way ahead of me in posting it.
