I've recently installed OpenBSD 3.2 on a 'spare' 100 MHz Pentium.

The packages included with OpenBSD 3.2 include 'povray3.1_NO_X11'

The computer is slow, but I can run povray and copy the images it generates
to the webserver document root, where they can be viewed on a Linux
workstation.

(I don't know if I'd want PHP scripts with execution time measured in days,
however)
