A possibility which I employed to this end in the distant past was to use SNMP to access the router supporting the subnet on which the PC resided, and scan its IP address table (which contains the Mac address and IP address in question).

The table only contains current entries so it's as well to ping the PC beforehand.
I used Perl and Simon Leinen's SNMP modules.
