You can, but I wouldn't say it's a workaround. In povray you can use 
transformations to translate, scale or rotate objects.

example:
sphere { 0, 1, translate <1,2,3> }
creates a sphere centered on origin and translates it to position 
<1,2,3> where it will appear when rendering.

Refer to documentation for further info, it's all well explained.
