No, but I'm putting together a hetrogenous cluster of
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux x86, and Linux x86_64 boxes
all running the same distcc'd compiler.  Why force
people to reboot to Linux if you don't have to
to get them into the compile cluster?
I suspect it'd be easy to add Solaris machines to
the build cluster, too.

The trick is getting them all to run the same toolchain.
I'll post the script I use once it's all working.
