"Can I attach a heavy shield and use a polearm (or other two-handed weapon)?"

Attaching the heavy shield gives you the same benefit of holding another item like a light shield. I'm not sure if holding a weapon is included in that. I could see some horrible things stemming from having that be the case.

Would you allow it or not?

Yep. I concur with the first two posts. He could hold them both, but would only be wielding the Polearm.
