In a word, yes.
How you go about it can vary.
If your client machine is a stupi^H^H^H^H^Hnon-Unix system, your best
bet is probably to use VNC.
See:

Or,

If you're paranoid about security then you'll want to encrypt the
connection. ssh can be made to do this, but I don't know of any free
ssh implementations for Mac or Windoze which allow arbitrary port
forwarding, which is what you'll need to encrypt X or VNC. The
commercial ssh clients from F-Secure do allow port forwarding, I think
they run about $100 per license but I'm not sure.
If for some reason you don't want to use VNC, there are also a number of
X servers for Mac and Winblows. A couple are free (MI/X is available
for both Mac and PC, it works well), some are not (one name I know but
haven't tried is Hummingbird; a server that I tried a couple of years
ago and liked a lot was called Kea!X).
