Despite POV-Ray 4.0 being a long distance away POV-Ray has always been 
and will be platform independent.  This means it does and will run on 
anything a standard conforming C++ compiler is available for.  Whether 
or not this will be the case for Windows 98 at the time POV-Ray 4.0 is 
released is pure guesswork.
