I would say it depends on the way you are gonna use it.  I have been doing that (ssh thing) for quite some time using the AA vo with no problems, haven't tried others, I would assume (no puns pls) anything that doesn't rely on suid or console (svgalib, fbdev, vesa, etc) should work, except for maybe sound and any accelerated vo (tdfx, gl, etc).  But to answer your question, yes it should work.  Have you tried yet? :)
