Yes, but the quality of projects vary. I don't think there's anything 
out there yet which is production quality yet, but I could be wrong.

See:

- Croquet is probably the best example; you get fancy 3-D stuff for 
free. http://www.opencroquet.org.

- Craig Latta's project, Spoon, does (as far as I know) remote object 
invocation. http://www.netjam.org/spoon. You get a tiny image for free.

- Search this list for the word "remote": 
http://map.squeak.org/packagesbyname. rST is interesting.

- I'm not entirely sure, but I think Magma (the OO database) does a bit 
of remote stuff too. This is stable enough for production use (although 
I haven't tried it myself). http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2665

- My own project does transparently distributed,replicated objects, but 
it doesn't work yet and I can't release the latest code because of my 
current employment contract. http://squeaksource.com/DPON.html.
