Bob,

Let's say R1 has 1 dlci, 102 , to R2 adn another one to R3, 103.

Couldn't this be done?

class-map DLCI-102
    match fr-dlci 102

policy-map IP-PREC
    class DLCI-102
        set ip-prec X

int s0
encap fram
fram map ip x.x.x.2 102 broadcast
fram map ip x.x.x.3 103 broadcast
service-policy output IP-PREC

Now, traffic to R2 will have the ip prec set to X while the dlci to R3 will
just have the default precedence, don't ya think?
