Do you have the face definitions with the co-ordinates?  If not, then
you're in trouble because there are an awful lot of ways of joining them
up with triangles :)

If you have the co-ordinates so that every set of three forms a
triangle, it'd be easy to convert them to a mesh (a few minutes with a
text editor or a short program).  If you have a list of vertices, and
then a list to define which vertices form each triangle, then the same
goes for a mesh2.

Note that vertices in a triangle can be given individual textures
(IIRC).
