I was trying to find the same thing and found BoolTrace which is part of the Binary Iris addon. This is supposed to do boolean functions on solid models, at render time, though the use of it as a shader.
It was tough to find as Binary Iris seems to have gone away. I found id it via the wayback machine. http://web.archive.org/web/20080627113211/http://binaryiris.com/main/?id=BoolTrace However, I could not get this to work in 2013 SP1. The render seems to break after installing the addon. If anyone has a better solution for Booleans in Softimage, it would be appreciated. Any modeling compounds in ICE, maybe? I searched the Area, but didn't find anything. I did see a post on using a transparent plane, that has the primary rays turned off, but I haven't tried that yet.
