Is there a utility to make randomly generated asteroids? Asteroids with
crater marks would be great. A bunch of small "asteroids" could also
serve as rocks on a beach.

Check out this site:
http://www.rahul.net/endl/mallan/html/rocks.htm
You will need an external conversion program that can convert from .COB
to .Pov. I think that crossroads or wcvt2pov can handle this for you.
Also visit this site for another rock utility with direct pov support:

John Beale has a utility that can "wrap" a hf around a sphere together
with the crater tool you get something that looks quite realistic.

I've made a nice crater-pigment that can be used as a spherical heightfield
(using Superpatch)
It's not yet finished, and I can't work on it 'till september. (Going to
France and Spain :-)
I'll let you know when it's finished.

Thought I haven't finished my picture yet, I've found that using a blob
with a crackle texture map works fairly well.....it comes out rather
smooth and, well, blobish, but if nothing else helps, you might try that.
