To make polygons transparent select them and press Ctrl+R (or PolyWorks Main Menu=>Edit=>Reverse visibility).
However I'm can recomend to use only vvvvery big transparent polygons. All their vertices should be far beyond in-game field of view. Otherwise they can sometimes change their visibility while playing. That is ugly bug...

What about untexturing before reversing visibility? Might that do anything?

I've never succeeded in getting this bug though. No matter what I do, they look invisible to me in game.
Also don't forget to disable smooth borders rendering.
