Depending on how much you want to install on your home computer for this 
and how much programming you or a friend can do, you could install a 
webserver and write a small web application (PHP, Perl, you name it). If 
you want to get really ambitious it could easily start more than one 
render, display status information and partly rendered images as well as 
allow the passing of commandline-options to povray. Be sure to protect 
this somehow though, it would be a rather big security hole if you don't.
