Never mind... I figured something out myself. Here's what I did... (This assumes you have it installed.)

1. Run the following query:

ALTER TABLE user ADD motd SMALLINT(6) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;

2. Find this comment in index.php:

/* This template is either outdated or the admin wants to reset it.
Either way, we need to choose a new member of the day. Aren't you excited?! */

Add directly below it:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET motd='0' WHERE userid=$daybits[1]");

3. Still in index.php, find:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE template
                        SET template='".addslashes($newtemplate)."'
                      WHERE templatesetid=-2
                        AND title='memberoftheday'");

Add directly below it:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET motd='1' WHERE userid=$newmember[userid]");

4. In admin/functions.php, find:

eval("\$post[profile] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_profile")."\";");

Add directly ABOVE it:

if ($post[motd]) {
$motd = "<smallfont><b>Member of the Day!</b></smallfont><br>";
}

5. Add $motd to your postbit template.

This not only adds two queries to the home page (which is not good, but better than 25+ more queries on each showthread page) but it allows the Member of the Day to be recorded as a variable in the user table. This might be useful if, say for instance, one wanted to have multiple Members of the Day for some reason.
