Yes, XDMCP Broadcast and indirect queries functionnality in xdm must
be enabled.

man xdm

In /var/X11/xdm/xdm-config, comment the line:
#DisplayManager.requestPort:     0

Then you go in /var/X11/xdm/Xaccess and give the list of host
permitted to run a remote session (or the '*' wildcard record).

Restart xdm.

man xdm
