I just type: 

$ emacs somethg.pov &

and it opens a new emacs window, if you run it in an xter or rxvt you
may get somthing different, you certainly won't get the syntax hilighting
in an xter or rxvt. 

I've just tried and I don't get any error messages in an rxvt. 

here is my complete .emacs file, there may be some things in it that 
are needed, it's so long since I set this up that I can't remember.
I've removed some comments, and changed all instances of .elc to .el
for you, you will still need to change tha path to pov-mode.el in this
file to reflect where it is on your system.  And here is an example of 
what it looks like on my system (though I've made some changes to 
.Xdefaults which make some difference to my emacs window but they
shouldnt matter here). http://www.btinternet.com/~zeropps/emacs.png
and here is my .emacs file as explained above:
