I do just that under Windows (don't tell Joerg) using AVRDude and a Moxa 8 
channel Ethernet to serial converter and a virtual com port driver.  Seems to 
work okay if you're emulating the STK500 protocol.  The STK500.exe utility 
works as well except for it's brain dead limit on ports, COM1-COM8 only.  For 
Xmega's (spit) we had to patch AVRDude to be able to use PDI with a serial port 
not a USB port.
