Why not? Why not to implement cross-platform UI by using some 
(scriping??) language? I guess suppirting Windows/Linux/Unix/MacOS 
should be sufficient and there is quite a number of tools for such task: 
Tk/Tcl (or whatever it was called, never can't remember it :-), Python 
(Yea, I know, that some here
hate Python, but Pyvon seems to be nice step in direction of 
cross-platformness), Java with JNI for interface with POV-Ray core etc.

Performance of UI shouldn't be problem.
