The obvious way to me would be to render the animations in the required aspect
ratios, and then do the meta-object animation with the frames of the
sub-animations image-mapped on a frame-by-frame basis.  The difficult part of
this operation would be matching frame-rates while preserving separate
time-frames in each portal.

The hard way -- and by hard, I mean insane, and maybe impossible -- would be to
reimplement povray in povray, and render each animation as part of the
meta-reference-frame.

Personally, I'd go with the first method.
