You would need to modify POV-Ray for this and it would break portability 

of the program.  If the function is too complicated to be implemented in 

SDL it is unlikely that it would be efficient to render an isosurface 
directly from it (this uses a *lot* of function evaluations).  Better 
use a df3 file generated with a separate program.
