Hmm. POV-Ray is not designed for this. It won't simulate the absorption 
and conduction of heat. It also ignores the wave nature of light, which 
is more important with infrared (longer wavelength). You can simulate 
infrared lighting about as far as you can simulate visible lighting.

If you want something that looks like an infrared photograph, that's 
probably easily possible, just tweak textures and lighting until it 
looks right. If you want a thermograph simulation, that's not possible, 
though you could use POV to visualize the results of an external 
simulation.
