Well, you can get BOINC working with GUI manager remotely. I have boinc-client on headless system and I control it from another computer using BOINC Manager. You only need to add the ip address where you have the manager to remote_hosts file and a password in gui_rpc_auth file.

But also, as @tomasbrod said, you will get OpenCL working with AMD GPUPRO and you won't need to change the system.

Have fun.
