There is a soft-light merge operation in the merge node, but what's probably throwing you off is that, when merging Photoshop layers in Nuke, you need to use the Video Colorspace checkbox next to the merge mode pulldown. Nuke's merge math uses linear color values, but Photoshop's uses sRGB. The Video Colorspace checkbox will change the incoming images to sRGB (or whatever your 8-bit setting is in project settings), perform the merge operation and change the output back to linear for you. That'll match your results in Photoshop much better.
Note that this is not just for soft-light. All merge operations will behave differently in Nuke from what Photoshop does because of the different colorspaces, so any operation, even just an over, will better match Photoshop with Video Colorspace turned on.
