In short: no.

You can run WinPov/WinMegaPov with

megapov /RENDER test.pov /EXIT [additional options]

but this will still start the windows interface.  
You might want to read the previous thread in this group (and it's origin
in povray.unix) where this was discussed more detailed.  

A command line version of several povray versions is available on my site
BTW, but it is slower than the Watcom/MSVC compile:
