POV-Ray is mainly a renderer and subdivision surfaces and displacement 
mapping are mainly modeling techniques.

There exists a patch for performing parse time subdivision of meshes:

http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~xwu/Pov-Sub/

and the compressed mesh system

http://www.geocities.com/ccolefax/pcm.html

supports deformation of meshes.

Furthermore there is the Surface Subdivision Suite:
