AFAIK POV-Ray is not able to do that. But you could try two other ways:

1.) Morph the Images: You could do that using an "average" 
texture/pigment-map. The result would propably not be like anything 
you wanted, but if your objects are rather slow it might be worth trying.

2.) The better way to do it would be not to morph the images, but the 
data making them up. Say you got 30 positions of one of your objects 
(one position per frame) and you have them as hardcoded data. Then you 
can simply put all those positions into a spline and use this spline 
to translate your object along. You could do the same with object 
sizes, colours, etc.
The advantage of this method is that you can render the final file 
with as many frames as you want - and the movement will always be smooth.
