Yes, they are in MegaPOVPlus:

Though you might want to hold off on getting it for a while, I plan on 
making some changes and there are some bugs that need fixed.

There really isn't much alike between the two: glow sources are an 
atmospheric effect, but they have a totally different syntax. They are 
more like localized fog effects than media. They also render much faster 
than the equivalent media effect, and are usually easier to control.
