Yes, you can define a network home directory for use with Mac OS X. That will provide the ability for your users to login to a machine that has access to that Directory Service and home directory server and work over the network.

In addition, if you want to provide an extra layer of protection, you could use Portable Home Directories (PHDs). This is a home directory that resides on the server and on the local machine. You define policy as to which items/directories will sync and at what interval. This gives you redundancy and provides your users with the ability to work if your server is offline for some reason or if they have a portable that they wish to use away from the office.

Hope this helps!
