Of course it's possible. Assuming you aren't using XDMCP (not configured 
by default, I believe), just telnet to the box and export your display 
(e.g. "export DISPLAY=<your_Exceed_box_IP):0") and run your X client.

If you're using ssh, it's even easier. The Red Hat /etc/ssh/ssh*config
files should support X11 forwarding by default, so all you need to do is
ssh into your remote box, and execute your X client. The ssh client will
actually handle the DISPLAY variable for you.
