Exceed is not an X client program, it's an X server. Netscape
Navigator is an X client, xterm is an X client... If you want to
run Exceed, you don't need an X server (most probably Xfree86) on
the FreeBSD box. Just tell the applications on the FreeBSD box you
want them to connect to the Exceed box, and they will do so.

You don't mention the nature of the work you want to perform. Is it
editing text files? Is it working with a database client app? Those
have network capabilities, right?
As for the text files: How about NFS?
