As Martin mentioned these are new options in Stata 11.1, which
is probably why they aren't in the pdf manuals yet (this is
certainly the reason why they aren't in the paper manuals).
However, you can see the function that lead to these
probabilities on page 1372, the methods and formulas section
of -poisson-, it is a pretty straightforward transformation
of the linear predictor.
Hope this helps,
Maarten
