Would a .pof meant for the epm570gf100 then work for the epm570gm100?

If they have different JTAG IDCODEs, then its highly unlikely.
Looking at the BSDL files ...
http://www.altera.com/download/board-layout-test/bsdl/max2/max2-index.jsp The MBGA vs FBGA files IDCODE_REGISTER entries are the same, so it might actually work.
Try synthesizing your blink LEDs design as follows;
1. Start from scratch and build for the MBGA device - copy it to test1.pof
2. Start from scratch and build for the MBGA device - copy it to test2.pof
If test1.pof and test2.pof are identical, it tells you that Quartus is consistent.
3. Start from scratch and build for the FBGA device - copy it to test3.pof
If test1.pof and test3.pof are identical, it tells you that the die must be the same, its just the package that changed.
