Yes.  If you set up networking and then execute startxt, 
it will start X and wait for a connection from the outside.
Then on the other machine, you can send X applications 
manually by doing:
----------------------------
export DISPLAY=192.168.1.7:0
icewm &   
----------------------------
That assumes the destination address is 192.168.1.7 and you 
want to send icewm.

You can also make the connection automatically by running xdm 
(or similar).  If you put 192.168.1.7 into the config file,
xdm will sense when that address comes up and send it the xdm
login screen.

I think Xvesa is supposed to recognize the -query paramater, but
I couldn't get it to work for me.  On the other hand, both methods
described above work fine on BL3.
