Technically, it may be possible, but I don't see an easy way to do it, 
or many possible benefits. You could use POV to render the hemicubes, 
which would be really slow. Or you might be able to do some source code 
hacking to output radiosity values in a useable form, but POV radiosity 
makes some simplifications and compromises for speed that are of no help 
for this.
