Blender should be able to do it.

Sorry I don't use Blender much, but in theory you should be able to 
write a script to separate a mesh into its individual disconnected 
parts. Or of course you can do it manually.

OOC where are you getting the STL files from? There might be an easier 
or shorter route to get the mesh data into POV in a more useful format.

Yes. You just need to define an "inside_vector" for each mesh, look in 
the help for more info.
