Depends on what you want to do...matrices are multiplied together to 
concatenate the transforms, but you won't be able to retrieve the 
matrix. And if you really only want to manipulate objects or vectors, 
and don't care about the matrices themselves, MegaPOV allows you to 
transform vectors and use inverse transformations without needing any 
macros.
