Hi!
First I have to say, that I ain't UV expert and don't own Poser, but if
all you want to do is to have Poser=>POVRay conversion, then I believe,
that the solution already exists. Gilles Tran has claimed, that he uses
obj2pov and 3DS2pov to convert Poser objects to POVRay. I guess, that he
exports Poser to 3DS format (although i don't know, whether is it
possible, as I don't have Poser) and then uses 3DS2POV utility to
convert it to mesh2 with all uv information. I think that he is at the
moment on vacation and therefore he can't share his experience. 
I personally have used 3DS2POV for exporting Rhino models to POVRay
quite successfully.
