The vrotate() or (if you are using MegaPOV) vtransform() functions 
should be helpful here...you could put it in a macro, something like:
#macro TransTri(A, B, C, Trans)
    triangle {
        vtransform(A, Trans),
        vtransform(B, Trans),
        vtransform(C, Trans)
    }
#end

mesh {
    ...
    TransTri(pointA, pointB, pointC, transform {TRANSFORMATIONS})
