Sure thing, but let me ask this. Can Poser turn surfaces into light emmitters using light emission maps?
Now that I'm done work for today and have some time off I figured I would take a closer look at this question.
I watched this tutorial on making Emission Maps for Unity.

Turns out it's very easy, as an alpha with color being driven by settings or as a color map. With this in mind I created a quick color map in Photoshop...
I then attached this map to a one sided square prop and used an Emission Node hooked up to a CyclesSurface root and rendered in Superfly... here's the result.
Yes, Poser can utilize Emission Maps.
