You can texture things through TG2 using standard nodes like the Default Shader, Image Map shader, and Surface Layer. Just right-click the object and go into the Internal Network, then attach your surfaces to Surface Shader input. However this will only texture the entire model and probably won't get you the results you're looking for.

If the model has an accompanying .mtl file that defines UV maps for image-based texture placement you can load Image Maps for each UV. But since TG2 doesn't provide a good system for visualizing UV coordinates or adjusting them, it's best to do the work in another program more suited to model texturing. Any general 3D program ought to do the trick. If you don't have access to anything commercial then the free Blender (http://www.blender.org/cms/Home.2.0.html) might suffice.
