You should definitely be able to get Emacspeak to start up with a
remote server.

Do the following:

(export  DTK_PROGRAM=name-of-remote-server; emacspeak)

This should do the job unless I'm missing something.

And I'm glad you're trying this -- I've been meaning to get a Mac
Notebook to play with VoiceOver -- the combination of VoiceOver
to do  Mac things, while using Emacspeak to write software would
be a very powerful combination.
