Mark,
How did you get your source code?

I only see the code an issue for you in the master branch and it 
compiles OK for me just now with Ubuntu 14.04. In my git cloned code the 
definition of NO_OP is located in source/base/types.h and it looks like:

/// A macro that does nothing.
///
/// This macro is intended to be used in the definition of other macros 
that should behave
/// syntactically like a single statement, while evaluating to a 
no-operation.
///
/// Example:
///
///     #declare MY_ASSERT(x) NO_OP
///     ...
///     if (some_cond)
///         MY_ASSERT(some_test);
///     else
///         ...
///
#define NO_OP SINGLE_STATEMENT(;)

Do you see this definition in in your copy of source/base/types.h ?

Another option is to try the 3.7-stable branch of the code which does 
not have the code causing you compile trouble. You can get to this using 
git in a source directory which does not already have a povray 
subdirectory with:

git clone https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray.git
cd povray
git checkout origin/3.7-stable

Then do the prebuild & configure stuff again - you'll probably need to 
add the LIBS="-lboost_system -lboost_thread" to your configure command 
for the stable branch. Don't do the last git checkout command if you 
want to try compiling the current master after cloning code via git.

Lastly, the following recent thread in this newsgroup might be of 
general help with build dependencies in Ubuntu:
