Joost,

There isn't currently any mechanism for this though it could be developed.
But my suggestion would be to convert the arcs into line string approximations
and then render those.

Amoung other mechanisms, I am sure this could be accomplished in mapscript.

It would also be possible to implement this capability within MapServer itself
if you really wanted it, but it seems like an unecessary complication to me.

Best regards,
