Povray is able to render only a specified region of an image. It should be
fairly easy to combine these regions to the whole image. Although as I'm
writing this I'm becoming a bit uncertain since AA, radiosity, and photons
(and maybe some other features too) can be problematic.

If we're talking about povray, the only  real risk is file IO, which can be
restricted to a single dir.
