You can use scattering media in radiosity scenes without problems and 
scattering media is taken into account by radiosity when you use 'media 
on'.  The only limitation is that for the media simulation the diffuse 
lighting is not taken into account.

Doing this would not be completely impossible but it would be quite 
different from how radiosity works on surfaces and increase in memory 
use and calculation time would be enormeous.  You can assume they will 
be similar to memory use of media photons compared to surface photons 
(just that for media photons only the memory use is much larger and not 
the calculation time).
