Paul Thiessen's vrml2pov does a very good job (imho) of converting
VRML 2 IndexedFaceSets to POVRay smooth_triangles.  I haven't
played around with creaseAngle to see if it adjusts the normals
accordingly, but it seems to do nicely with ordinary objects that
come out of VRML modelers like Spazz3D, VRCreator, and Nendo.
