I doubt such a tool exists, but from my thought experiments (i.e. quake3 can
change resolutions of your X server if you have the supported modes) I don't
see why it couldn't.

Can I suggest the shorter version:

ssh -X -f target-host program

-X gives you X forwarding
-f backgrounds the whole ssh process, thus freeing up your terminal for use
again on your local machine

(of course, if your X program has a lot of output to stdout/stderr, then you
will probably find the -f flag not very useful :)
