I think this is more or less the goal of DragonflyBSD or plan9. You can also have a look at MOSIX on google. However, you should not expect to be able to run all applications with this kind of model. As someone mentioned, OpenBSD is extremely good at load balancing applications with the bundle of pf/carp/hostated/ifstated. It all depends on what you plan to run on this cluster.
