For this you would effectively have to write a parser for the POV SDL. 
Unless you've written all the SDL with just numbers for all the coordinates 
this would be quite some work.  Compared to that, writing code to do CSG 
operations on meshes would be easy.  (It's not that hard anyway)

Maybe you could patch the POV source somehow to output the raw coordinates 
of objects to your code, then it could create meshes etc.

Sounds like quite a job whatever you decide to do.

It might be quicker to redesign all the components as meshes from scratch.
