Sure. You can host horde itself on one box, DB on another, mail on a  
third...you just need to configure horde to know where to look for  
those services. For the DB, you configure that in  
admin->setup->database, for mail, you configure imp/config/servers.php  
and/or admin->setup->mailer depending on your needs.
