You can use a pattern function, i.e.:

#declare foo = function {
   pattern {
     checker
   }
 }

 #declare MyNormal = normal {
     function { foo(x,y,z) }
}

You find it at the end of section "2.2.1.6.3 Declaring User-Defined Float
Functions" in http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/231/ .
