I created a functional RPM (I use it daily) on RedHat 7.3
using this spec file:
http://www.physics.muni.cz/~yeti/download/pov-rpm/povray.spec

It needed some patches to make it compile (no functional
change) and to work with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
http://www.physics.muni.cz/~yeti/download/pov-rpm/povray-3.50a-compile.patch
http://www.physics.muni.cz/~yeti/download/pov-rpm/povray-3.50a-unofficial.patch
http://www.physics.muni.cz/~yeti/download/pov-rpm/povray-3.50a-install.patch

And some default I/O restriction configuration file
http://www.physics.muni.cz/~yeti/download/pov-rpm/povconf.tar.gz

(Actually the -compile patch also cleans a few float ->
integer casting warnings; it's not necessary, but makes no
harm.)

It however doesn't work on a vanilla RedHat, since it
assumes automake-1.6 and autoconf-2.53, so there are some
trick inside the spec to make it use the old automake and
autoconf.  These should be probably removed to make it work
on default install.

Compiled with gcc-3.1.

Hope it helps -- you've asked for half-way working spec, now
you have what you've asked for ;->
