There is currently no such option in the Indigo user interface, that must be done into your 3D application.

Just add a 1 poly (triangle) mesh and assign it a material. when you edit the material settings you can add emission to it, making it a light, and it's in the emission settings that you can select and assign your IES profile.
the normal direction of your mesh determines what direction the IES will point.

because there is this specificity with emission using IES profiles, that each triangle of the emitting mesh will emit the profile on its own.

You do as FakeShamus says :)

here's what it should look like in your materials tab (see the IES checkbox at the bottom)
