I don't think so. If I was to use your analogy, to biggie size it would be to crosssell another trial site when your already at the signup page.
A popup is intrusive advertising - plain and simple - you can't argue the efforts people have made to get rid of them, and people don't trust them at all, everytime people talk about popups, they directly relate it to spyware.
It's the same reason why I stopped using popups completely across my entire network - I'd rather not piss off the 90% of surfers who come back because I have empowered them to make their own choice for purchasing a membership, instead of trying to force the flavour of the week down their throats.
