Well, what's stopping you? You would have to interface through the 
ordinary POV-Script and write it to the disk in order to load it again, 
but the result would be the same: dynamically generated code being 
loaded into memory and executed. Just a bit roundabout, and a large 
chunk of the required code would have to be written in POV-Script 
instead of being done by the function engine. It would also be very 
slow...
Hmm, maybe write a VM in POV-Script. ;-)

It would certainly do this well.
