You might want to check out Art of Illusion, a full-featured java 
modeler/renderer. It has a third party-written POV export module which 
works quite well in my testing.

I haven't tested it in OS 9 recently, but it did run great in 9 the last 
time I tried (the developer was writing it in Mac OS 9 originally). 
Their web site is down this morning apparently (Aug 9 U.S. time) but the 
URL is:

http://www.artofillusion.org

It's worth a look.

BTW, you can run Java programs in 9, but 9 only supports an older 
version of Java (1.1 I think) and most newer stuff is using a newer 
version of Java that 9 won't run.

(one of these days I'll finish updating my site's listing of Mac POV 
modelers/utilities and which ones work in OS 9 and/or OS X)
