AFAIK POV-Ray doesn't support NURBS.
Displacement mapping is usually done during tesselating shapes into 
triangles - but POV-Ray has no need to tesselate objects (except for 
bezier-patches).
If patched versions of POV-Ray add support for NURBS and SDS, it would 
be a nice feature to add displacement mapping for those objects :-)
