I have never had the need or tested an distributed OpenVAS architecture but i think that it is possible. If you go to the menu Configuration->Slaves you will see that you can add remote slaves. In the Greenbone Manual you can see that you can setup an appliance as Sensor which i think it has the whole package but only uses the scanner because of the way they configure it but it is only my opinion. If i were you i would configure an Master in a machine and then in another machine install OpenVAS but only activate the scanner (openvassd) then in the Manager i would add this scanner and update the Master and then see if the updates appear in the remote scanner.
