Well, i suppose you can, at the most basic, cheap, quick and dirty way, stream from the webcam to VLC, and out to the internet - probably with SSH tunneling since you don't want to send unencrypted video over the internet, and recieve the video with another copy of VLC

I've seen software for it before, albeit I don't remember the name offhand. Part of it depends on the platform you're interested in.
