  I think yes.
  My idea more exactly: Leave the first plane/box alone but make a union
from all the planes/boxes behind it and bound this union with a box (or
cylinder) which is located at the hole in the first plane/box and which
covers this hole.
  Now povray will test intersections with the first plane/box and the
bounding box everywhere but in the hole, where it tests intesections with
all the planes/boxes (instead of testing intersections with all the
planes/boxes everywhere).
