Mac OS X is BSD-based. It includes OpenSSH. Set up the ssh daemon on the machines that you need to remotely administrate. When you need to shut one down, just open a terminal and run the shutdown command remotely. I do not know how the mac desktop environment responds to a pending shutdown (such as warning the user), so some experimentation may be necessary before widespread implementation.
