Povray cannot use dxf/dwg files directly. You need to convert it to
mesh or mesh2 object.

3DWin (www.tb-software.com) does the trick.

If you are using Windows, Poseray can import DXF files, and output them 
as either mesh or mesh2 objects for Povray.

You can get Poseray from:

slightly on-topic, Poseray works well enough to import files and export them
as meshes under plain old Wine in Linux. The Poseray website says several
emulators work but doesn't list Wine. It works for basic functionality, but
some text doesn't render. Not sure that UV functions work, i never have
really used UV mapping.

I have tried Poseray under Wine, but it keeps crashing on me, especially 
if I try to use the OpenGL display portion of it; which is useful to me 
for previewing subdivisions etc.

I would really love for this tool to work natively under Linux, but I 
guess I wil have to just keep on wishing.... ;)
