I use $SERVICEPERFDATA$ all the time in my service check commands and
it works fine, I imagine you can use $SERVICEOUTPUT$ too.  It isn't
difficult to test, just write a little check command to spit the
unixtime stamp and whatever you pass to it back out, and feed it the
$SERVICEOUTPUT$ as an arguement.
