You can manually enter the host name (depending on your setup) or IP
address of the HP-UX system. You just have to choose the option for
enter host rather than select from list. Of course, if your HP system
is setup to reject X logins then it won't work.

This isn't really specific to CDE but is a function of the login manager.

"To manage requests from network displays, the login server supports
the X Display Manager Protocol (XDMCP) 1.0. This protocol enables the
login server to negotiate and accept or reject requests from network
displays."
