  Isosurfaces do not have magical properties. An isosurface is a primitive
like any other primitive in povray, with the exact same limitations.
  You could ask if you can make a torus on a sphere_sweep and the question
would make the same sense.

  "Can I make an isosurface which follows a spline, in a similar way a
sphere_sweep does?" would make more sense, but it's a difficult question.
Someone with more experience with splines+isosurfaces may answer it better
than me.
