You can try HCREdit by fellow Pover Christof Hormann.
http://www.tu-bs.de/~y0013390/
Export the terrain file as RAW 16 bits, Intel byte-order, write down the
size (default is 257 x 257)
Import it in HCREdit as RAW, same size, skip header size 1 (otherwise it's
just snow), 16 bit grayscale
Save as PNG 16 bits for use in POV-Ray
You'll have to reverse it scale <1,1,-1> translate z
To get an exact result you'll have to note the exact size and height of the
terrain in TG and scale it accordingly in POV-Ray.

(disclaimer : this is fresh knowledge as I discovered all this a couple of
hours ago !)
