You can create your own Moray UDO:
Check out the moray website (downloadpage) for the description of how an UDO
file looks like (not too difficult actually).
It (roughly) works like this:
You have an INC file that describes some object in POV-Ray code. You then
write an UDO file that describes the same object for Moray (as a list of
vertices and edges), so that Moray can show the object. In Moray you can
transform the object as usual, and when exporting, Moray will simply exports
the code from the INC file (with the transforms applied).

POV2MDL can be found at:

But be aware that it only does POV 2.2 and not even then all complex scenes
get converted correctly. But to my best knowledge, nothing else exists.
