Yes.

Xdmcp

I do this via KDM, so the setup is different should you be running GDM. 
Basically, you need to enable XDMCP and set the access controls for 
accepting clients. For KDE this means changing three lines in two files, 
so it's that easy.

That's what you select when you have an available machine to connect to. 
It's also worth setting up X11 forwarding in ssh for quick connects - 
rather than starting another X session. Permit X11 Forwarding by editing 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
# X11Forwarding yes

It's well worth sorting this out, since being able to login to any 
machine from any machine is liberating and useful.
