I doubt that the Pony of Shadows is going to have anything to do with the comics' Nightmare Force. He, she or it will be a seperate villain with a distinct origin. My personal speculation is that it is more likely to have something to do with the fate of Celestia and Luna's native tribe.

It's worth noting that IDW's access to the secrets of the show is a recent innovation. The older the comic series, the less likely it is to be close to show canon-compliant.
