Yup, it would be useful, even though it requires an agent on the target machine. The only problem I can see is security. It would need to be seriously tight, possibly some sort of encrypted key between server and agent. If it was as simple as telneting to a certain port on the target mac and issuing commands... (shudder!) imagine what a IT savvy disgruntled employee could do! Are you thinking of a restricted command set or something along the lines of a remote command prompt type thing?
