Yes, but then you're kind of limited to just using PDAs then. I 
already control my Mac from my bluetooth-enabled phone (a T616) via 
Salling Clicker (http://www.salling.com). It lets me control movie 
playback or music via iTunes from the couch. It also displays the 
current position and title of the movie or song being played. Seeing 
as I almost always have my phone with me, its very convenient. It 
would be pretty cool to have that available for my MythTV setup too.
