A much more relevant question here is, are /you/ interested in a CMake 
setup for POV-Ray? Would you use it yourself?

If you are, then chances are there's probably someone else out there who 
would use it as well.

If you aren't, then chances are you'll lose motivation to maintain it in 
the long run.

Setting up make files for a particular build system is just the smallest 
part of the job; keeping them alive and kicking over the years for an 
ever changing piece of software is the real challenge.
