You may want to give it a shot using a Card instead, since the three lens
distortion co-efficients correspond with the PTGui lens distortion model.
 You would need to set it up with a camera and a ScanlineRender, so it's
more involved, but just make sure that before applying the lens distortion,
you have the card rendering through the camera matching the straight image
"pixel for pixel", as with this setup Nuke is smart enough to not do a
filter hit.

So in summary, match the camera's focal length and haperture in the
equivalent fields in the Card's projection tab (it can be any camera) then
go to the Lens Distortion tab and populate it with the PTGui data.

I got some interesting notes on this topic from an engineer at the Foundry
and I posted them on Nukepedia:
