Short answer: No.

Currently, there is no way to have scattering media illuminated by 
radiosity alone.

I don't think that there are any simple workaround.

A possibility would be to add some emissive media with a spherical 
pattern properly scalled and using a poly_wave 0.5 to simulate the 
natural fading of light.
