Yes. If you compile paraview from source and turn MPI on, then the server process can be run as a parallel job (mpirun -np N pvserver). Connecting to that parallel server and using it is no different than the client/serial-server case.
I vaguely recall that the Mac binaries are compiled this way, and can be used directly. Mac are treated differently because the MPI library on Macs is more standardized than elsewhere.
