Hi there!
I'm a beginner user of POV-RAY and I want to render a concave spherical
mirror using this system.
Could anyone give me a hint on this job?
Should I use a modeller? Or maybe the default objects provided by the system
are enough?
I'll appreciate any help.

You can create this quite easily using the pov sdl - using a modeller is
certainly not required for this.

the interior of a sphere is concave, so:

difference{
  sphere{0,1.001}
  sphere{0,1}
  plane{z,0}
  pigment{White}
  finish{diffuse 0 ambient 0 reflection 1}
}
