Antialiasing is a must, you can improve the level of smoothness by increasing the image size beyond your target resolution. For example, if you plan on a final resolution of 2048x2048, rendering the image at twice that size and then downscaling in Gimp will bring smoother anitialiasing. You should not have any issue as long as the image is exported correctly.
