Sean:

Select the polygons that ly on one side of where you want the hard edge in
modeller.  CUT then from the object and PASTE them back.  This will force
modeller to create a new set of points for the polygons on the other side of
the edge.  You'll wind up with a set of double points along that hard edge,
but when you render it, you will get a nice hard edge.

The same problem occurs when you bevel text and want a hard bevel.
Smoothing will "round" it off.  By selecting the bevel polygons only and
cuting and pasting them - you'll get a nice hard edge.
