This is definitely a possiblity in Maven 2.x - in fact one of the earlier prototypes was built in a client/server fashion. However, the more common case would be for it to be embedded as I explained earlier so you can add your own components and listeners. If you wanted to embed it in a small server, that would also be possible.
None of this will be done on Maven 1... the architecture, in particular with regard to output, is not flexible enough without serious changes (just one of the reasons m2 now exists...)
