As far as I know, no. MAX is a proprietary 3D graphics format which they
gaurd rather closely. PolyTrans claims to support MAX and can export to
POV-Ray v2.2 and 3.0 but is expensive and will probably require a fair
amount of tweaking to get comparable results.

If you have MAX why not try exporting to .3ds and convert from there?
