Would this option rely on the initial IP. This might not be that valuable given most of the visitor pool comes from non-dedicated IPs.

Would it be possible to reassign any posts made as a guest to the new member ID and awarding points based on those posts?

That would be very dicey indeed. Often thousands of people share the same IP address, or even millions. All kinds of organisations or ISPs or online services involve proxy servers.
