I have a Perl script that will convert Poser-exported RIB files to POV
.inc files with smooth triangles.  If you email me at par### [at] mailfwicom
I'll send you a version that's purported to work with Poser 3, though I
haven't been able to test it myself and I'm not sure it didn't change the
semantics of the old script in ways I don't like very much.  For older 
versions of Poser, the script at http://www2.fwi.com/~parkerr/traces.html 
will do the trick.
