Inkscape imports other vector graphics formats, and a google search revealed 
a couple of sites that described Postscript and EPS as being included in the 
list of formats supported.

I've not done such an import myself, but if you can get it into Inkscape, 
then getting it out  into POV format is straighforward and can produce nice 
results as was recently illustrated in a couple of images in 
povray.binaries.images.
