POV-Ray has troubles reading some unusual style PPM headers but can read 
any files it generated itself.  If you have a PPM it can't read running 
it through an image converter (like Imagemagick) before should help.

Latest MegaPOV contains a patch that makes the PPM reader much more 
tolerant so any standard conforming PPM should work.
