The best way to do this is draw each wall with two really big triangles;
you could do something like

set graphicsmol [mol new]
set z1 [expr -1 * $z0]
graphics $graphicsmol triangle {-1000 -1000 $z0} {-1000 1000 $z0} {1000
-1000 $z0}
graphics $graphicsmol triangle {1000 1000 $z0} {-1000 1000 $z0} {1000
-1000 $z0}
graphics $graphicsmol triangle {-1000 -1000 $z1} {-1000 1000 $z1} {1000
-1000 $z1}
graphics $graphicsmol triangle {1000 1000 $z1} {-1000 1000 $z1} {1000
-1000 $z1}

Have a look at the graphics and draw commands in the vmd manual for more
options.

Best,
Peter
