Is it possible to make member-areas available for spidering so they would show in SE's results but non-members would be redirected to login area?
Thank you!

That depends on how your password protection is implemented. If it is insecure enough to allow search engines to access the content, then it is insecure enough for everyone else to access.
You could theoretically configure your server to send a different response depending on whether the remote user identified itself as a web browser or search engine, but it would be complex and not foolproof. Alternatively, you could use a Javascript/cookie based "security" system, but that would only log out users with JS enabled, and would be easy to bypass.
