You could use a transparent cylinder filled with emitting media of the 
appropriate colour and a cylindrical density, set the media obect to 
no_shadow, and put a long, thin area light inside it.

If you want Neon sign style lettering, then a sphere_sweep in POV 3.5Beta 
filled with media may be what you're after, but you'd have to use an 
obscene number of point lights scattered along the length of yout 'tube' 
to get the lighting effect.

At least I think that would work (Disclaimer: this is off the top of my 
head and is by no means guaranteed to work...)

Bye for now,
