R-Gui with remote execution?

We have three Macs, one with considerably more storage and processor power. Storage requirements are probably most important to us. Is there a way to run R-Gui on one mac but have the execution on a remote mac? (I know that voluminous graphics are probably best transmitted using pdf files or the like.)
BTW: pdf is exactly the wrong way to do that ;) Also I forgot to mention that there are some GUI projects that separate the UI and the R process. Byron Ellis had some UI a while ago that was Mac specific so presumably could be used across Mac machines. RStudio also separates R and the UI so presumably you could run it across machines (also it ships bitmap files instead of graphics so it should be efficient) - but I have never tried it that way.

If not, is there a favorite way to run remotely using X11 better than the paste-from-editor command-line interface? I also use Vim-R myself, so there may be a way to exploit vim. (I've checked for messages on the subject for the last few years.) Running R version 2.10.1 on 10.6.7 locally and 10.5.8 remotely. regards, Bob Chatfield NASA Ames Research Center
