Ah.  Righto.

So if you use min_extent and max_extent, you can use those to align things.
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Knowledgebase:Language_Questions_and_Tips

So,

you have:

#local t1=text{ ttf "font.ttf", "First", 1, 0 texture{ pigment{ rgb <1,1,1> }}
#local t2=text{ ttf "font.ttf", "Second", 1, 0 texture{ pigment{ rgb <1,1,1> }}
#local t3=text{ ttf "font.ttf", "Third", 1, 0 texture{ pigment{ rgb <1,1,1> }}

Try:

#declare spacing = 1.0;
#local t1=text{ ttf "font.ttf", "First", 1, 0 texture{ pigment{ rgb <1,1,1> }}
#local t1x = max_extent (t1).x;


#local t2=text{ ttf "font.ttf", "Second", 1, 0 texture{ pigment{ rgb <1,1,1> }
     translate x*(t1x+spacing)}

#local t2x = max_extent (t2).x;
#local t3=text{ ttf "font.ttf", "Third", 1, 0 texture{ pigment{ rgb <1,1,1> }
translate x*(t2x+spacing)}

Not that by appending ".x" to max_extent, I'm selecting only the x component of
the <x, y, z> vector that the function returns.  That way I'm only translating
along x.

Then you can

union {
     object {t1}
     object {t2}
     object {t3}
}
