According to their Features page :

LuxRender is an external rendering program and relies on exporter scripts that export a scene from a 3d modeling program.

The primary exporter is LuxBlend, which tightly integrates LuxRender with Blender. It supports all the features of LuxRender. It also features interactive material preview inside Blender, significantly reducing the time it takes to create complex, realistic materials.

Exporters for major 3D packages like Maya, Cinema4D, XSI and 3D Studio are under development. Because LuxRender's file format is openly documented, any skilled programmer could start writing an exporter for any 3d modeling program.

So... unless someone (e-on probably) writes an exporter for Vue, the answer is probably : not anytime soon.

On the other hand, you may try to export a Vue scene to a 3D studio format (assuming the models are not locked for exporting) and then use their 3D studio exporter to use that rendering engine.
