Maybe, but do not hold your breath on it.

It's the same way as for installing povray from sources (so, not from a
package)
1. get the sources (zip or tar.gz)
2. extract them somewhere
3. run in the extracted directory:  ./unix/prebuild.sh
4. run:  ./configure COMPILED_BY="Bald Eagle"
5. if configure is happy (no missing packages), run: make
6. run: make check
7. either copy unix/povray in /usr/local/bin/hgpovray,
   or run: sudo make install (it overwrites povray !)

you can get sources at https://github.com/LeForgeron/povray/releases

Steps 1 & 2 can be replaced by cloning the git repository, but that's
not for innocent users.

That's a long long long road, I'm not sure to engage.
I would need to set up a ppa:, and add files for the debian generation...
And states if it excludes official povray or can cohabit with it.
