Your best bet with MegaPOV is probably to use the settings from one of 
the example scenes. The modifications Nathan has made to radiosity make 
it possible to just reuse the same settings from file to file(which 
usually doesn't give good results in the official version).
However, because of some of those differences, you likely won't get good 
results if you just use settings for the official version's radiosity in 
MegaPOV radiosity.

Also, you need to make sure your textures are realistic, for example, 
make sure transparent textures don't amplify light passing through and 
that mirrors don't reflect more light than what hits them.
