If you're OK with booleans at render time then 3Delight does a nice job
of that. Might be worth looking into, the trial (2core) is free.

I was trying to find the same thing and found BoolTrace which is part

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.

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.
