1: Use a bunch of cylinders, spheres, torus segments, or combinations of
these to approximate the shape of the spiral. Use a loop to place them
automatically
2: Similar to the above, generate a bunch of triangles to approximate
the object.
3: Use an include file or macro to do one of the above. There are
several around.
4: Make the spiral out of a sphere_sweep object in MegaPOV.
5: Make an isosurface or parametric shape to do what you want.
I probably left a couple possibilities out...a more specific answer will
require a more specific description of what you are trying to do.
