I think the easiest would be to create a Radeox multiline Macro and  
when this macro executes, everything inside is rendered using some  
external mathML/Tex* renderer engine. That's really easy to do.

Another solution which is also nice would be to write a XWiki Plugin  
and thus offer an API for rendering mathML/Tex* text and then create a  
velocity macro that calls that XWiki plugin.

Hope it helps,
