This is a great idea. You could use LTSP as a local boot server, and then connect with a NX client to the remote Linux server. It's possible to include the NX client as a local app. Another option is Thinstation or PXES. They are packaged with several clients, including NX. You should be up and running within 10 minutes (not including the time required to install and configure a Linux distro on the local boot server). The boot server will only need DHCP and TFTP running to serve the boot images - NFS is not needed to boot the thin clients. BTW, you won't need LTSP if you're going to go the Thinstation or PXES route.
