I am very much interested in this as well. However, I doubt there is a resonable solution for this problem, at least not as long Sun does not develop a connector for MacOSX. I have no hope they will do this anytime soon.

You can install X11.app on MacOSX to run X-applications. E.g. the native SGD client is based on this X11 enhencement. But normal Cocoa/Carbon (Mac) application have nothing to do with X, so the Unix application X connector cannot be used to connect to a Mac and bring the Mac application to e.g. a Windows box or mobile client.

I have experimented with VNC as well and finally gave up (no viable solution). :-(

I have also looked into getting OSX apps via SGD...
I have been in talks with Apple @ great depth about this and basically
apple have said 'No, This can not be done in anyway shape or form due
to OSX NOT being a Multi-Concurrent-User OS' And they have NO
plans for any type of 'Terminal Services' type solution in the pipe lines
for OSX...
So I hit a brick wall with Apple, VNC did look like it would work, but
I agree with Andreas in that I could not find a viable solution...

The only other way I could see this working was a VMWare solution
using the VDA Kit... But again this solution is in No was supported by
Apple in any way...
