Definitely not possible in POV-Ray, unless you write your own framework 
(i.e. basically place another language on top of SDL) to do this sort of 
things.

you can define macros as:

   #macro Rotate_Object(Obj,Angle)
     object { Obj rotate Angle }
   #end

which you could then use like this:

   #declare BedRm_North_Wall = Make_Wall( Length, Height, Thickness )
   Rotate_Object ( BedRm_North_Wall, angle )
   ...
