For all practical purposes, no. Not possible.
Theoretically if one knows the exact encoding of a .pof file for a particular device, one could write a disassembler that built a gate level connectivity list of logic cells. And that could be represented in VHDL.
But .pof file format is not public information. And the generated VHDL netlist would be a full chip gate level netlist. Not so useful.
So if you have a .pof file but lost the source VHDL you are out of luck.

.sof could help?

Nope.
.pof files are for for non-volatile CPLD devices, .sof files are for volatile SRAM based FPGA devices.
But the same issues apply.
