Yes. You can configure the system to run multiple Xsun servers, each
with it's own input devices and graphics output devices - Sun Ray is a
specialized version of this, but you can also do it with PCI graphics
cards & USB keyboards/mice (though doing it yourself is much more
complicated and fragile than doing it with Sun Ray).

I posted details a couple of years ago:
