No. NX works by spawning a pseudo-X11 server on
the remote box that the session runs on, and then
acts as proxy, i.e. forwards the protocol stream
(with niceties like roundtrip suppression and com-
pression) to the NX client, which happens to be
an X server as well (an Xnest instance on Linux
or Cygwin/X on Win).

Sessions running on a different X server cannot
be picked up. NX is a terminal server rather
than a generic remote control solution.
