No, but with Unix or Linux you can use SSH to remotely execute POV-Ray. 
You would have to transfer the scene over first...or maybe mount a local 
volume on the remote machine, but that probably wouldn't be as efficient.

Hmm, don't know what you need exactly, but you may have a look at: 

http://www.cip.physik.uni-muenchen.de/~wwieser/ani/rendview/

It's a program developed by me (UNIX-only, Linux natively). 

Using the feature called LDR you can have the POV code sent to a different 
computer, have them rendered there and get the resulting image back. 

(Actually, you can pass any number of frames and have them rendered 
on any number of clients. Frames are not sub-divided, clients always 
render whole frames [least overhead].)

Cheers,
Wolfgang

IIRC render farm script (perl?) of IMP is also available

ABX is right.

In the perfect sense, this would have been a thing that needs to be
implemented in POV-Ray itself,
so the server could ALSO distribute ALL the "Include-files", graphics etc.

However with a few limitations (Radiosity, mechsims ...) this:
"> Povray server on one computer , and some console on another to send pov"
 is exactly what I did with "SMPOV" (Freeware, Link below). SMPOV is the
"server" and the "Renderagents" are the clients.

Its avaiable only for Windows and its FREE.

As the program does not manipulate into POV-Ray (or mega-POV), you will have
to install a copy of
POV-Ray (or MEGA-POV) on any Client, as well as an Render-Agent.

Communication between the Agents and the Server is done via "files in a
shared directory", in which you have to place as well all those files, which
should be accessible from all clients.

About the same thing is available for UNIX (Linux) and it's FREE, too :)

A tool called RendView, developed by. Homepage: 
http://www.cip.physik.uni-muenchen.de/~wwieser/ani/rendview/

It also supports only rendering modified frames (based on timestamps 
like make(1) does it [not complete yet]), tuning on a per-frame basis 
and several other things. 

People who are looking for a tool to render animations on several 
computers (100 or so should still be okay) are welcome to check that 
out and give me some feedback (suggestions,...)
