Yes.  If you built mythtv with DirectFB support, you can just run the setup
program.  Otherwise, the easiest way is probably to ssh in from another X
display, making sure to enable X11 forwarding.  Otherwise, you can install a
VNC server, connect with a VNC client, and run the setup program that way.
