glxgears is a demo of OpenGL. if you don't need 3d, use another test,
like 'xeyes', or even 'xterm'.

if you do need openGL but don't mind it being (very) slow, search
about mesa3d. it's a software-only implementation of OpenGL but  i'm
not sure it works over a network.

if you _do_ need hardware accelerated 3d, search about vmgl; but i
don't know how complete is it already, or even if it's really usable.

another option is Virtualbox....
