Yes, it is possible of course. You could use MOSIX as Jens has pointed out,
however there are several software packages designed for similar tasks.
What comes to my mind is:
1) Distributed computing software such as "Condor". Have a look at the
beowulf mailing list archives, there was a similar discussion.
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/
2) Load balancing queuing/batch systems such as ANTS
http://unthought.net/antsd/
3) Parallel software build systems; a parallel "make" that works on
distributed memory machines. There ought to be some implementations around
such as pmake that uses MPI:

I'm CC'ing your question to debian-beowulf
Thanks,
