Be kind of tough via ethernet I think. There would need to be an app that sends MIDI through TCP/IP and also provides virtual MIDI ports for the different apps to hook into. Guess you could use OSCulator on the Mac and PureData on the PC to convert MIDI to and from OSC so your data can travel over ethernet.

If your audio interfaces have 5 pin MIDI ports, you could connect master to slave and sync MIDI clocks that way. If your audio interface doesn’t have a MIDI port, you could get a USB to MIDI dongle for pretty cheap that would handle it.
