Off the top of my head... no.

I think it could show the preview in 256 colour mode, but all output 
files were basically 24-bit colour, and you had to use a 3rd party 
program to convert this to something the Amiga's hardware could display. 
(DPaint will do it quite happily - except that I'm not 100% sure POV-Ray 
supported IFF ILBM. Might have been only TARGA or something - in which 
case you'd need PPaint.)
