Not as such, but you could run a VNC server on the mini, or use Apple's Screen 
Sharing to control the mini via the iMac. It would be *mostly* seamless. I use 
Apple's Screen Sharing quite a bit, and as long as I remember that I'm sharing, 
I find it very workable.

About as well as it's likely to get. I do not believe there is anyway to 
disconnect an ild iMac's screen from the motherboard and attach it to another 
machine. at least not easily (it's not like there's a DVI port and a pug inside 
the case).

Which iMac, specifically, is it?
