We're doing this.  We have a patch to MythWeb to give it a "remote
control" and a Pocket PC java application that does the same thing.  I
personally use a wireless Pocket PC to control my MythTV.  Basically
it does an http post to a server-side application that sends key
strokes to the running mythfrontend instance.  You can find it at
