It is possible, but I haven't tried this on an existing ubuntu server,
but this should work fine*

sudo apt-get install mythtv-backend-master

I currently run an (almost) silent front+backend mythbuntu box in the
lounge room, which stores everything on my NAS.  I hope to add a front
end in my office when I get the time to connect it up.  For now totem
seems to work pretty well as a client.
