Yes, like I said, a pixel aspect ratio should be set seperately. So
you would have something like this:

  Scene File:
     image_aspect_ratio=4/3

  ini File or Command Line:
    Width = 320
    Pixel_Aspect_Ratio = 1

From these three variables, POV-Ray could determine that a person
wanted a 320x240 output image to be displayed on a system that used
square pixels.
