The /usr directory can be mounted read only from the server. This would run scribus and many other apps from the server. This is what the /usr directory is for. Clients should mount a /usr/local partition for any "non standard" local apps.
If you do not want to export /usr, you could export a lib directory as well as a bin directory from the server. Update the clients once to include the shares in the path and /etc/ld.so.conf. Now copy the binaries in the shared bin directory and use ldd to determine which libs to copy to the lib share.
That would give you "network" apps without sharing the entire /usr directory.
