There are two answers to that:

Taking your question literally, the answer is plainly "no".

Taking your question to mean "can we expect an Android port of POV-Ray", 
then the answer is "maybe".

It depends on (a) whether there exists a C++ compiler for Android 
(because that's what POV-Ray is written in), and (b) whether there will 
be some POV-Ray + Android enthusiast deciding to write such a port 
(/and/ finishing it ;-)). (Note that a serious demand for such a port is 
not a necessity for it coming to existence.)

Obviously such a port would be - and stay - an unofficial version of 
POV-Ray, as the dev team wouldn't be able to support the 
Android-specific changes (unless of course the aforementioned enthusiast 
would happen to be, or become, member of the dev team).

See the current Mac version of POV-Ray for how it could work out.
