As far as I understand it, I think you need the 'vtransform' function from
'transforms.inc'.

Here is a sample scene that returns the new position to the #debug stream:

#declare S1= sphere{0,0.1 pigment{rgb 1}}
#declare T1= <2,0,0>;
#declare R1= <0,-45,0>;

object{S1 translate T1 rotate R1}

#include "transforms.inc"
#declare NewPos = vtransform(T1, transform{rotate R1});

#debug concat("New Pos: ", vstr(3, NewPos, ",", 0, 5), "\n")
