This is a pretty common misconception about POV-Ray.  It (POV-Ray)
happily takes whatever coordinate system you feed it (if you define your
look direction, up/right).

Just because there are a whole bunch of scene files that like to use the
positive z axis as the direction you are looking and y as up, don't
think that POV-Ray is somehow limited.

Personally, I can't quite see the problem.  If you are modelling in
Moray, then when you click the render button, POV-Ray makes an image
that looks kinda like what you were modelling.  Get out of your rut...
