Very possible as I've done it myself.

lirc supports daisy-chaining of remote commands. Go to
http://www.lirc.org/html/configure.html and search for "daisy-chain". On the
machine receiving the networked lircd commands I run, "lircd
--connect=machinename 8765"  (where 8765 is the tcp port).

Cheers
Kevin
