So what you're after is not really stopping a render, but skipping 
individual frames in it.

No, at the moment I can't think of any mechanism by which POV-Ray might 
support this (other than rendering only subsets of the animation in the 
first place). The "#error" directive came to my mind, but it does not 
only abort parsing of the current frame, but also the entire render job.
