Is it possible to approximate the amount of heating in tissue (and other materials) due to electromagnetic radiation?

Yes. If you knew the conductivity and size of your tissue you can easily do a simulation to predict the amount of heating. This is often done using FDTD simulations to estimate the amount of absorbed power by the human head from cell phones and such.
