Yes, certainly.
You have a couple of options.
1) Start the X server on your local machine with a
'-query xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' option, where the x's are
the IP address of your remote server. This
will give you a full session on your local desktop
with all of the apps, including the window manager
running on your remote server.
2) Run Xnest on your local machine, again with the -query
option pointing to your remote server. This will give
you a full session on youre remote server inside of a
window on your local machine. Everything inside the
window will be running on the remote server.
3) Use ssh to log into the remote server, and as long as
you've got X forwarding turned on, you can run an X
app on the remote server and the output will be displayed
locally.
All of the above methods assume that your firewall and routing
is all setup to allow the X sessions to work. Probably the safest
and easiest to configure is the #3 with ssh, as all of the X
traffic is tunneled through the ssh protocol.
And, there are probably lots of other ways, using things like
VNC and who knows what else.
