One way is to use MegaPOV's projection pattern: 2.6.3. Projection pattern

To get a full effect, you would need several patterns to specify blurry 
light_sources all around the object. They would be averaged together.

The other option I know of (and it may have been my post you saw), is to 
  make a pigment out of the target object and combine jittered versions 
of it into an average pigment's pigment_map. If that makes any sense.

Both ways will be terribly slow.
