You could try drawing six copies of the image you want onto your image
map and using uv mapping

box {0,1 uv_mapping pigment {image_map {png "image.png"}}}

If you don't care how your image_map aligns with the edges of the cube
(e.g. if it's a repeating texture), then you could use the original
image scaled down

box {0,1 uv_mapping pigment {image_map {png "image.png" }scale 1/3}}
