I suppose 'audio/esound' could be considered a sound server, and it's
generally used in conjunction with X (it was written for Enlightenment and
GNOME uses it as well..)

Also, KDE 2 has a similar, supposedly more advanced sound server (arts,
part of x11/kdelibs2).

As far as I can remember, both of these support playback of audio over a
network.
