It's certainly possible - play around with f_ridged_mf or f_ridge perhaps? (the
latter would need combining with another function, say one to give a nice wave
effect).
If you hunt around, you'll find a lot of images where iso's have been used to
generate the ocean. A poor example of stormy seas, and using old megapov syntax
iirc, would be:

If you want to play with that function, and need help updating to pov 3.5 let me
know.
