Along that vein, is there a method for sending/receiving arbitrary values
and/or module layout and/or audio streams, etc, via a TCP or UDP
connection?

A friend and I have a dream;  we live a thousand kilometres apart, but
would love to be able to collaborate in real time on a music work.  PD
seems perfect for our needs (different operating systems, for a start).

I don't imagine it would be particularly complicated to write a method to
do such a thing - and so has it been done?  Perhaps making use of graphics
net-render features?
