Yes.  Here's an entire POV file to demonstrate:

// start of POV-Ray file

#declare pigA=pigment { cells
   warp { repeat z offset <-.5,10,0>}
   translate z/2
   scale <3,1,sqrt(6.75)>
}

#declare pigB=pigment { cells
   warp { repeat z offset <-.5,10,0>}
   translate <1.5,7,0>
   scale <3,1,sqrt(6.75)>
}
#declare pigC=pigment { cells
   warp { repeat z offset <-.5,10,0>}
   translate <0,-7,0>
   scale <3,1,sqrt(6.75)>
}

plane { y,0
   pigment { hexagon pigment {pigA} ,pigment { pigB} , pigment {pigC} }
}

light_source { 1e4 1 }

camera { location 10 look_at 0 }

// end of POV-Ray file
