Andrew -
Your post confused me, so I chased it down with FIRST's Altium Rep. She told me that the Altium you receive in the Kit of Parts is the full blown Altium Unified Licence with a 12 month timer. This can export your board to many standard formats, including Gerbers. Gerbers are accepted by all of the board houses I've worked with, although I hear that some of the super-low-end houses only accept their own proprietary format.
If you need any help with the export/fab process, feel free to PM me or post here. Alternatively, we can set you up with the Altium Forum - the community there is on par with Chief Delphi for helpfulness (dare I say better?
).
