One option would be to use the DAGMC surface mesh geometry which is a collection of triangles.

There is a micro package that takes vertices and outputs a DAGMC geometry that can be run in OpenMC.

There is also a [discussion](https://openmc.discourse.group/t/how-to-create-unstructured-meshes-for-tallying/2501) on tetrahedral meshes that might be of interest over here
