I think your example is - at least theoretically - still within the reach of a probabilistic logic program, although the focus is entirely on approximation rather than conditioning (there are no observations). Of course, I doubt any existing inference engine would be able to help much with problems of that type, but the idea is still general enough to cover estimating intractable functions from the logic defining the solution.
