This sounds like a job for VNC. It's worked fine for me, though I haven't tried this exact combination of platforms. See http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ for further details, /usr/ports/net/vnc/ to install. BTW, it's a bit slow over 10baseT; hopefully one day I'll see how it does with 100baseTX.
