Hi,
try quick3d (shareware - http://www.quick3d.com/).
Within the test period you can translate from ply to obj or 3ds (don't
remember) for free and then as usual with Poseray to pov formate.

A POV-Ray user called Mael did it IIRC. You can probably retrieve his email
from his messages in povray.unofficial.patches (among other groups) and ask
him directly.
