The only way you could do that is if the client also has an SSH or Telnet daemon running on it and you know the login credentials. However, if the server is providing DHCP leases, it would be possible to deny the client a lease based on its MAC address. This would not "disable" the device per se, but if it is wired to the machine or is the only DHCP server nearby it would render it effectively useless until authorized again.
