This comes up a couple of times a year. It is generally considered not
worth the effort. NURBS are great in a GUI modelling environment but
offer little to nothing to a text file based parsing program like POV-Ray.
Additionally anything you can model with NURBS in a modelling program
can be converted to triangles and rendered in POV-Ray anyway. So the
question is why bother ?
