There is the tesselation patch:

http://jgrimbert.free.fr/pov/patch/tessel/index.html

which also works for isosurfaces and there were various macros for this 
posted over the time.

None the less you will find that all these methods are slow (esp. as 
script) and don't really convert the isosurface - they just create a 
rough approximation.
