Just thinking aloud: you will need to uv-map your mesh. I suppose you 
can export the mesh as an obj file for instance, and load that into an 
appropriate program like Wings3D (free) where you can uv-map the mesh, 
export again and turn it into a mesh2 file with Poseray, and finally 
render in POV-Ray. That is the way I would take.
