I've done this in the past using "synergy" (I haven't tried
this since upgrading the majority of my Myth boxes to FC3, but it worked
great with a Windows laptop and RH9 server):

When you've got this running, you basically mouse off the edge of your
laptop screen and any further keyboard/mouse input is directed to the
MythTV frontend. When you mouse back, the keyboard/mouse returns to the
laptop. Pretty slick. You can combine many computers (one for each edge
of your screen, or edges of those other screens).
