Only if you can find them. I'm not sure the POV-Ray port of L3G0 is still

OK.

If this separate set of files were straight POV-Ray code, they could be
kept in a separate directory, and the translator/renderer could include
this directory in the search path. More exactly, the translator/renderer
should include a search path for POV-Ray files, which is searched before
the search path for straight LDraw files.
If I remember my POV-Ray correctly (it's been awhile), each file would be
an include-able file, defining one object, the part.
