Two options come to mind:

alias TRIANGLE = PolygonT.TRIANGLE;
// etc

Or at the usage site:

with(PolygonT) {
    someFunc(TRIANGLE);
}

That'll work as long as the two enums are defined in separate 
modules, then only import the one you need to use at the time. 
Otherwise, they will conflict and it will force you to write it 
out long form again.
