I suppose you will have to do this with an image map, added afterwards to
the simcloth mesh.
What I would do (but there may be better solutions) is make a png or tga
image of the Zorro mask, with the eye hole color that should be transparant
in the alpha channel. After you have created your mesh in simcloth, import
it in Poseray, add the image_map to it and tweak the uv mapping if
necessary, export again to Povray.

I hope this will help you.
