Man, I wish that were possible! The direct answer is "no," but since it's Max, there is another way (there's always another way).

Look up "Wrap" under Unwrap UVW under the help file. It will work similar to what you want to accomplish, just not as easy as "aquire UVW" would be.

I might sound like an ingoramoose, but can't you simply copy the UVW Map modifier from the swept object to the mesh?

If it's based on "Generate UVW Coordinates" within the sweep there's no UVW modifier to aquire a copy. Unless they've changed that in 2013...
