As long as there's a route for that machine to communicate with your 
desktop (ie. no firewall blocks etc.) you should be able to set the 
DISPLAY environment variable and then run GUI apps as normal...

Normally the syntax is something like...

export DISPLAY=10.131.160.10:0.0

...where 10.131.160.10 is the IP address of your machine.
