Folks... for those of you trying to remotely run applications and are not presented with the unlock option, Martin Pitt came up with the solution in another bug report. [1]
System -> Administration -> Authorizations -> org, freedesktop, systemtoolsbackends, Manage system configuration. Modify the "Implicit Authorizations" with the Edit button, and change the "Anyone" value to "Admin Authentication". (Screenshot attached) I am now able to unlock tools managed by policy kit remotely (e.g. SSH forwarding, NX, etc).
