I have this in my notes from way back....

* Duplicate your layer, run a Sobel edge-detect on the duplicate, and then add a touch of Gaussian blur.
* Create a new white layer (Xoffset) and Bump Map it against the duplicate with darkness compensation disabled, an Azimuth of "0", and an elevation of about "30".
* Create a new white layer (Yoffset) and do a Bump Map against the duplicate with darkness compensation disabled, an Azimuth of "270", and an elevation of about "30".
* Perform a Displacement Map on the original layer, using the Xoffset and Yoffset layers as the corresponding displacement maps and adjusting the amount of displace to suit.

Can someone with PS and Gimp compare, and if it works I can script it up, OK?
