We're just going through some setup with mental ray and Houdini, and there doesn't seem to be a rendering parameter for Light Shaders. Given, I'm not that familiar with mental ray and Houdini integration (we've been on PRMan for a long while), but I'm used to just to adding a Light SHOP and being done with it.

In H9.0, lights are “wrangled” by SOHO. If you look at $HH/soho/wranglers/HoudiniLightMI.py, this is the code which wraps the Houdini light parameters into MI light shaders.
If you want though, you can just add the shop_lightpath parameter and override all the wrangling stuff.
Hope that makes some kind of sense.
