You need a either a Mac or PC app that supports network rendering, and of course all of the PC's or Mac's need to have the ethernet cards setup correctly. Licensing is expensive in the "big boys" since they are usually purchased by studios and design firms.
As far as I know, there aren't many cross-platform netrender apps. My current tool of choice works well over PC' or Mac's but I'm not sure it crosses-over.
It's called Animation Master, and for the money (and in general) it is one of the best character animation tools around. Most of the modern features in Softimage, Maya, and Lightwave were functional first in that program. They just keep a low profile.
You can get a netrender license for 3 machines for around $500 I think. If you have to use polygons instead of spline patches, then you're out of luck since the program is a sublime patch modeler and not a polygon wrangler.
