There's a well-known attempt to make a theory of surreal integration; it produced some fruit but did not actually yield a sensible definition of surreal integration. I'm unaware of any successful attempt.
Edit: Also, that was for functions from surreals to surreals, not for functions from a measure space to surreals.
I'm not disputing that? The (or rather, a) problem is infinite sums (sums of infinitely many things), not sums of things that are infinite.
I speaking weakly since I didn't really feel like dragging up the actual arguments. I'll expand on this in a cousin comment.
