Is it possible to get POV-Ray to render a model with textures?

Of course.

If you can make do with a procedural texture (this is the normal way of
texturing in POV-Ray), you should read "3.5  Textures" in the documentation.

If you have a specific image that you're trying to put onto a mesh with UV
mapping, read "3.5.7  UV Mapping" and "3.4.2.4  Mesh2" to see how you can
specify uv-indices for normals and apply a uv-mapped texture to a mesh.

I'm not sure.  It might be in the docs.

I was hoping Id be able to make a surface have an image as a texture,
without resorting to UVMapping

What shape is the surface?

If it's a flat plane, height field, or some other simple shape, you can
simply use an image_map in the pigment.
