On my part, I would import the Moray scene into POV-Ray, add the POV-Ray 
part and render it entirely in POV-Ray.

Anyway, start with a few quick tests as proposed. Those should not take 
to long.

Make sure that your POV scene is located at a known location, in a 
known, finite, volume, with a known orientation.
In Moray, pull the camera back enough that you will be able to see the 
whole scene "from the outside".

Merge in the Moray scene.
Move and rotate ONE of the scenes relative to the other so that the 
positioning and orientation are coerent.
Do that with the outside camera so that you have a global view.

Once you are satisfied, replace the camera where you want it. Do any 
fine adjustments that are needed.
Do a test render.
If OK, start your final render.
