You can do this with Crossroads. Replace the "mesh" statement in the ouput file
by "union", remove any texture or transformation statement and it should import
the file without any trouble.
The file should be only : union{triangle{...} triangle{...}... triangle{...}}

You can then convert it in DXF. In fact, regular triangles and spheres are the
only POV primitives that seem to be actually supported by Crossroads for
conversion to other formats.
