POV-Ray use primitives. Lightwave use meshes, and Houdini probably does the 
same, and don't use primitives.
To do that export, you need to convert all objects of the POV scene into meshes. 
There are no universal way to do that, especialy with isosurfaces.
Using Poseray, you can import into POV-Ray from those.
