Yes, it can.

Just connect to the RDP session using the "Windows" desktop type in the
NX Client...

Oh wait... you want to connect to a running X session from a different
machine, using NX Client?   ;-P

That's not possible currently.

As a workaround, you could start your local X using a minimal X11 
window manager environment, from which you start NX Client and connect 
to "localhost" for your full Gnome or KDE session. *That* session you
can pick up from any remote place that can ssh-connect to your original
box. If you need that regularly, just make it a habit to run your local
X via NX....
