POV-Ray has no builtin support for NURBS.
sPatch, hamaPatch and JPatch can export their models as meshes of
bicubic patches to POV-Ray. Note that POV-Ray internally tesselates the
patches into triangle-grids (you can adjust the subdivision level with
the u_steps and v_steps parameters), so the rendered image will look
just like it was a triangle-mesh (with all the drawbacks: jaggy shadows,
odd self shadowing, etc.)
The only advantage is that the file-sizes are much smaller when using
bicubic patches.
