Unfortunately you have to pay for the server which doesn't run on BSDs. I am not sure about Solaris. Clients are open source and I used on OpenBSD.
Another one is proprietary

which is RDP on steroids. You can not run it on BSDs. It is really good for streaming media.
Finally, you can always try VNC. It is open source and you can tunnel through SSH. It is definitely more efficient than tunneling X.

I have used VNC in the past and it's good but I don't think I would want to use it all day long. Are the thin clients any better and how do they differ from vnc? I don't understand the pieces in a gui desktop so I don't understand what has to be done to run a desktop locally from a server.
