If you don't mind using a modeler that is still mostly beta, you can try 
the LionSnake modeler:

   http://www.geocities.com/evilsnack/lionsnake.htm

It's designed for creating posable meshes that can be exported as 
POV-Ray scripts.  You still have to hand-code the posing in POV-Ray SDL, 
although I intend to add a scene-building capability when issues with 
modeling are finished.
