My RedHat Linux distribution has a command line utility:

NAME
        rsvg - Turn SVG files into raster images

SYNOPSIS
        rsvg [option] in.svg out.png

DESCRIPTION
        RSVG coverts SVG images into PNG and JPEG raster images.

I haven't used it so can't comment on how much SVG it really understands.
---------------------
I also saw some other place recently that was doing on-the-fly SVG to 
PNG (I thought it was happening in the browser) and told a student 
about it. Perhaps he will remember where.

Seems like you could do a plugin detect client-side and then bundle 
it all up to be converted by the server if the viewer doesn't support PNG.

Reminds me of another question: Does the SVG DOM give access to the 
browser (known as window.navigator in the HTML world, I believe)?
