Not without patching POV to add it. And the code for handling different 
noise generators is a bit of a hack, there isn't an easy way to just 
plug in a new generator, so it would probably be easiest to do it as a 
pattern or internal function.
You could get similar effects though...for example, multiple noise 
patterns that are offset by the t value. Not perfect...but then Perlin 
noise isn't perfect either.

I've also seen it used for flames.
