I have never worked with such a RADIUS daemon, but based on how I think
it would have to work, I agree that you'd have to authenticate and account
on the same machine.

Probably a good idea too since the RADIUS way will also fail if some
accounting packets are missed (in fact if that happens, a user might be
prevented from being logged in at all!)

Perhaps radipadd (the RADIUS IP address daemon) would be a good place to
put such a feature if it won't be done on the Maxes themselves.
