Right, it's possible.

Just send the message you want to send. You know the address of the bus server 
to connect to, so pass it in the --address= option. You know that address 
because you configured the other machine with it.

Create your own config file and change the <listen> directive to be on TCP.

Remember: D-Bus TCP is unauthenticated an unencrypted. It accepts connections 
from anywhere and trusts it blindly.
