No, not any more.

Actually I did implement that capability several years ago, where you
could build a remote "crashd" daemon that you could connect to in order 
to access dumpfiles or /dev/mem on a remote system.  But it languished due
to lack of interest and the preference/speed-superiority of using NFS,
and so it has long since been deprecated.  The code still sits there in 
the sources, in remote.c.
