My understanding of svgalib is that it only displays on a tty.  I could
(if I read up on it a bit more) add support for output on an arbitrary
terminal, but I don't know that I could do any better than 80x25, 16
colors).

Have you had no luck getting x-povray to display remotely?  That would
strike me as a better solution, since X is designed to function over
networks. I've gotten x-povray to display over rsh, but I haven't had
the need to try ssh (trusted network; I can reach all four machines and
the hub from where I'm sitting).  I can check it out on my end.
