As others have mentioned, MythTV uses threads, and openmosix can't migrate threaded applications. A quick google turns up openssi, which is substantially different from openmosix (it's still clustering a set of computers, but it presents them to applications as a single multiprocessor computer), and is capable of migrating threaded applications.
I'm still not sure this is a hot idea, though - if capture is being done on one system (the one with the card), and compression on another (because mythbackend got migrated off of the system with the card), isn't openssi going to be passing the uncompressed frames over your network?
