What do you mean? Moray can subdivise meshes at display and/or at export. 
(in mesh edit tab)
You have a "Smooth mesh" option in the Edit menu as well
BTW you have a Anti-aliasing option in the render settings ;-)

In Moray mesh editor you can edit uv coordinates of the number of faces you 
want.
Right click of the name of the view you want and choose "UV" at the bottom 
of the popup menu.
Now the image_map is displayed as a 1x1 square (Shift+F if the view is not 
centered)
The UV coordinates of the vertices of the selected faces is displayed and 
can be edited here

For more details on mesh edit, see Moray help topics, particularly "What's 
new"
