The current interface to polymake is pretty minimal, a lot more could be done to improve it. You need to install the polymake optional spkg for it to work - this installs a full-fledged version of polymake that you could use on its own as well. Last time I checked the spkg was broken, but in a minor way, you just need to change the version of cddlib referenced in the spkg install.
Rather than improve the polymake interface, I've been adding more sage- native polytope functionality lately, in the sage/geometry/ polyhedra.py file. (Arnaud Bergeron has also contributed to that effort.) I am very interested in what you want to do and exactly what functionality you need. There are some substantial improvements to polyhedra.py that will be in sage-3.2, and a little more will probably wait until sage-3.2.1.
