>From what I understand OP is trying to render nuke geometry as subdivision surfaces. I don't think the nuke renderer supports it? But as Deke says, you would need a displacement map that maps the difference between the cage and the smooth surface. And if the geometry is changing shape you would need a sequence of maps.
You could maybe export the geometry files with a few subdivisions on them? Sure, it would slow things down a bit, but it's an easy fix. The second alternative would be to use the renderman renderer in nuke, if you have access to renderman. Otherwise I would look into using Atomkraft for the same thing.
