 It really depends on what you want to do with the gif that you want to import.
Pov offers a pigment feature called image mapping. An image, .gif, .tga, .bmp,
etc. can be mapped onto an objects surface. The basic syntax for this is used
with the following example:

box{ -0.5, 0.5
  pigment {
   image_map { gif "your.gif" interpolate 2 }
    translate -0.5 }
 }

There is no support for .jpg images by the way. Images can also be used to
make height fields {terrain), create bumps on the surface of objects as
well as become part of even more elaborate textures. It's all in the
documentation that comes with the program.

Good luck !
