You have to move your object into the origin, rotate it, and move it back.

Maybe a little macro will do:

#macro Rotate_around (RotVector, Position)
    translate -Position
    rotate RotVector
    translate Position
#end

Maybe such a macro is already in the includes which are shipped with POV-Ray,
but I don't know.
