OK, a serious answer: No, as you just cannot communicate from Java with the 
Mac version efficiently.  I would suggest to find a link to a Mac 
command-line build, put that on your website (or have a special Mac 
download) and connect to that with the standard Java means.  After rendering 
is done, you probably want users to view the rendered image in your 
application anyway.

PS: While it has low priority, I am well aware that there are uses for the 
"common" command-line control mechanism POV-Ray offers and if time should 
ever permit to complete the high-priority features for the Mac version, a 
small frontend that translates command-line control attempts to AppleEvents 
interacting with the GUI version is not out of the question.  But don't 
count on me ever having time to implement that ;-)
