Mints, chives, comfrey, horseradish and parsley can cope with some shade and also like a bit of moisture.

Lovage can take some shade too.

Now medicinal herbs...there are boatloads for shade/woodland gardens but they are not items for kitchen use.

FataMorgana

In the light of what FataMorgana said, I'd emphasise that Comfrey is not for the kitchen either. I use mine for the compost heap or directly onto the soil.

Basically, cool crops can tolerate less sun/more shade and those are: Anything in the onions family ; Parsley ; Cilantro. In that order I would say also sage and rosemary to some extent.
