run the existing vmdk images I already have. But, I have some questions about accessing the virt-manager console remotely for initial configuration, etc..

ssh -X <someuser>@<remote_virt_host> 'sudo virt-manager'

where someuser has sudo rights to the virt-manager.

you can do achieve this without sudo using a unix group and policy kit like explained here:

(I am no fan of howtoforge, but this one is nice). Bonus points if you have an ipa/ldap environment for your groups/users.
