I will need to find whatever register corresponds to GPIO03 and set just that particular HIGH bit?
Yes. Look at the data sheet and maybe as a help you can step through superiotool as well.
(Other keywords in their email were things like "GPIO:0x2" and GPIO:0x18", but I haven't been able to get any additional clarification from them...)
Superios are easier to program than many other components, and are well documented, so you shouldn't have too much trouble. GPIO 3 is what you need to know about how the hardware is built.
I do have a document describing the hardware pretty thoroughly, but I am unfamiliar with the terminology it uses and how I would map that into something I AM familiar with in Linux.
When you say well-documented: is there a particular document you can think of offhand?
At any rate, I'm sure I'm close to the edge of how much this list is willing to tolerate. :) Thanks for the help, hopefully I can make something out of this...
