OpenSSH support tunneling of arbitrary ports, and has a switch for tunneling
X. So, any Linux distribution that has OpenSSH and one or more of
X11/VNC/RDP clients can do it.

I'm not sure, however, what you'd qualify as "thin client" or
"conveniently". Can you give more detail?

TightVNC [ http://www.tightvnc.org/ ] is one I particularly like because it
has a simple command line switch that incorporates ssh tunneling.
