Yes. The client and mozille client plugin are even available in Debian´s
standard repositories for Wheezy/Sid.
I installed FreeNX once. It basically worked, but it was quite difficult to
maintain and I had to adapt way more than is necessary when I today just
install X2go and be done with it - for simple cases at least. LDAP

documented.
