If you mean in a general distributed sense (like CORBA or DCOM), no.

But you can run an application on one machine, and display the video on 
another via the X11 video target, and play its audio on a third with one 
of the network audio targets (nas, esound, arts).

Also, there are wrappers for networking sockets, if you just want two 
programs to talk over a network, specifically SDL_net, but this isn't 
Remote Procedure Call or anything.
