This might be pretty old but I figured it out

	_Splat2 ("Layer 2 (B)", 2D) = "white" {}
	_Splat1 ("Layer 1 (G)", 2D) = "white" {}
	_Splat0 ("Layer 0 (R)", 2D) = "white" {}
	// used in fallback on old cards
	_MainTex ("BaseMap (RGB)", 2D) = "white" {}
	_OutlineColor ("Outline Color", Color) = (0,0,0,1)
	_Outline ("Outline width", Range (.002, 0.03)) = .003
	_Color ("Main Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
	_ToonShade ("ToonShader Cubemap(RGB)", CUBE) = "" { Texgen CubeNormal }
}

You cannot unless you find the terrain shader in the unity contents folder, and change it to support toon shading. Your only other real option would be to use an image effect such as edge detect.

This is a slightly late response but actually, you can

change the first line of your toon shader code to the same name that the default terrain shader works and unity will use your terrain shader (your toon shader) instead of the default one. i.e.: the first line of your toon terrain shader should be:

"Shader "Hidden/TerrainEngine/Splatmap/Lightmap-FirstPass"

This might be a bit old but I actually figured it out.

Shader "Hidden/TerrainEngine/Splatmap/Lightmap-FirstPass" {

Properties {
_Control (“Control (RGBA)”, 2D) = “red” {}
_Splat3 (“Layer 3 (A)”, 2D) = “white” {}
_Splat2 (“Layer 2 (B)”, 2D) = “white” {}
_Splat1 (“Layer 1 (G)”, 2D) = “white” {}
_Splat0 (“Layer 0 (R)”, 2D) = “white” {}
// used in fallback on old cards
_MainTex (“BaseMap (RGB)”, 2D) = “white” {}
_OutlineColor (“Outline Color”, Color) = (0,0,0,1)
_Outline (“Outline width”, Range (.002, 0.03)) = .003
_Color (“Main Color”, Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_ToonShade (“ToonShader Cubemap(RGB)”, CUBE) = “” { Texgen CubeNormal }
}
