If nothing else, you can always use POV's file writing ability, along with
POV scripts that generate your own trianges (fun fun), and then output them
in some raw-ish format that could be understood by CAD apps or converters.
I think somebody (or people) on here had some macros which used the trace
function to generate meshes.  I'm guessing using POV itself to convert a
limited amount of stuff is more work for less than you had in mind, but
some at least some things are possible.
