Not much help but I think that the question should first be addressed to 
Thomas Baier, the author of Rheingold/3DWin, as he can best answer to 
what extent csg objects built in POV-Ray can be converted to other 
formats. Mesh/mesh2 files and (smooth) triangle files should not give 
problems but complex csg... I don't know.

CSG objects built with Moray can be converted to meshes easily but... 
you cannot convert csg from POV-Ray to Moray.
