A/UX, NFS, and remote execution

We'd like to hook a Mac II up to an NFS network, and run programs
on the MacII from another computer without rlogging in.
Does anybody know if A/UX supports Sun's network computing utility called
rexd, an RPC server daemon for remote program execution?

Currenly, all of our computing is done on a mix of Sun workstations tied 
together with NFS; we use rexd heavily to allow a primitive sort of parallel
processing.
We're considering buying a RISC slave processor (e.g. the McCray from YARC,
or the 88000 card from Tektronix) and a MacII to plug it into, but
we don't want to do it unless we can control the Mac via the network.
Thanks for any info...
