hmmm...
I can't think of anything like that, per se.
A good place to start is, maybe, it just might let you use a bool modifier and put the result on a separate layer with that layer's own, personal lamps, and no lamps on the origin layer.

alternatively:
I don't know the precise situation you're in, but you can usually get away with just making the bool result shape, and using the hook modifier to link the vertices to animated empties.

If it's a complicated shape(a lot of vertices), you can instead give it a lattice modifier and use the hook modifier to animate the individual lattice vertices.

That may give you a good direction, at least.
