On Linux, it's easy - just start the application on Xvnc without a window
manager. Virtually all X11 applications accept the -geometry switch which
will let you rescale it to full screen, otherwise you just make Xvnc the
same size as the application window.
On the Mac, it's *much* harder. I can't offhand think of a good way to do
it, particularly as the menu bar would have to remain available to leave a
sensible UI. In any case, you'd still have to dedicate the Mac to it, so
why not just install one of the "Mac protection systems" or even Multiple
Users, and secure the machine that way? The one caveat I can think of is
that ChromiVNC is not tested with Multiple Users.
For MacOS X you can use the Xvnc trick as above (for an X11 app) or you're
back in the MacOS situation. I really don't know enough about OS X to
comment on whether it's possible to do it "on screen" with an Aqua app.
