Are you aware of the UberPOV fork?

https://github.com/UberPOV/UberPOV

It's based on POV-Ray 3.7 and hasn't really seen any development for some time,
but one of its notable features is stochastic global illumination as an
extension to radiosity. I still use it quite often because I think it produces
much better results than the standard radiosity with almost no tweaking
required.

Maybe there's something there of interest relevant to your project!
