I know of at least one (Kerkythea) that supports unbiased rendering as well as
other methods; you select the rendering algorithm you want to use from a list,
which includes conventional raytracing. You can't mix methods within the same
render, of course.

I don't find it surprising that most of these apps focus on one particular
rendering algorithm, though, considering the effort it takes to get even one of
them right, with features that make such apps useful.
