Displacment Mapping?

Does anyone know if it's possible to import a black and white picture to use as a displacement or deboss map in SW 2008? I'm modeling a part for an artist who wants an elaborate cursive signature debossed into her piece. I could spline trace every line, but that seems really inefficient. I need the actual geometry, as the entire piece will be used as a drive surface for cnc machining. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
