It sounds like it's already possible to at least import the Poser stuff (as obj?) into Bryce and fiddle with the textures. I don't know if Bryce has any scripting or an apy you can use but it seems like if it did you could pretty much write a utility to read a pz3 and pull it into Bryce textured and ready to go - assuming they're no subjective decisions involved. Worst case, even if Bryce is "dumb," it might conceivably be possible to write code that read in the pz3 and "automated" Bryce by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. And then again, of course, perhaps not. One difficulty that arises in doing that with Poser is it's use of non standard UI elements in Windows and probably the Mac as well. If Bryce still has the same off the wall UI elements it would be a problem. Interesting that someone at Corel had the same idea for a "junior" version of Bryce. I sent my Poser Jr. idea to CL so you're my witnesses if the use it and don't want to pay me :-).
