Pov_Ray is just the same as MacMegaPOV, except that MacMegaPOV looks a
bit different.
If you say that you can use MacMegaPOV, then you should be able to run
POV_Ray as well.
You need to open a scene file (MacMegaPOV allows for selecting one
without opening).
Both versions look a bit different but they do the same.

I suggest that you start from scratch:
Download the archive, expand the archive and mount the image, copy the
folder "POV-Ray 3.6" to your hard drive.
Open this folder and double click the the "POV-Ray Mac 3.6" alias and
the program will start (don't launch from the image because that will
not work).
Select your include path via "File" >> "preferences.." tab "Scenes".
(select the include folder in the "POV-Ray 3.6" folder).

Now, open a file and select "render xx.pov" from the render menu.
This should work. 
If not, stick to MacMegaPOV :-) ;-)
