It probably is. Heres the listing of files for the planet-ccrma midishare
package:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/6/idpl/1056156

If I remember correctly, you run /usr/bin/msInetDriver to start a
midishare ethernet driver, you use /usr/bin/msRawMidi to connect alsa
(via virmidi) to midishare, and you use /usr/bin/msconnect to
graphically connect everything together.

There are similar tools for mac, and probably for windows as well.
