If you can output the mesh to a format like 3DS, OBJ, DXF or several other
commercial formats, then the conversion to pov is made easy by one of the
many free or shareware utilities available :

Note that there are currently several mesh formats available in Pov : one in
the official 3.1 version and two in the unofficial patches Superpatch and
Megapov. Only the latter formats support uv-mapping so you may have to
consider a patched version of Pov if you need to export bitmap-mapped
meshes.
