v2 CTP1 apparently did not include it (unless you used invoke-apartment
available from the PowerShell team blog).

v2 CTP2 provides the ability built-in:
1. For powershell.exe, just start it with the flag -sta. See
"powershell /?" output. By default, powershell.exe runs in MTA mode.

2. For graphical powershell, the interface runs in an STA thread.
