Any of the X servers should allow you to run any OPEN LOOK app remotely,
unless the app in question uses the NeWS (PostScript) portion of the
Sun xnews server.  Most of the X servers available commercially for the
NeXT seem to include (or at least offer) the Motif window manager, so
any OPEN LOOK apps you run from your Sun will have Motif-style
window-dressings on them.

You can grab olvwm (an OPEN LOOK window manager that supports multiple
workspaces) off of export.lcs.mit.edu.  This will give you the complete
OL look-and-feel just like on the Sun.  You can also get the xview
toolkit from the same place (in case you want to compile any xview apps
for your NeXT).  Both of these are freely available in source form.
