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.
