To my knowledge, this is not possible with just OpenNI (which was not developed for this usecase).
You might look into the possibility to install something on both machines which allows you to forward the USB-data from the BeagleBone to a virtual USB-port on the laptop - I don't know if there are solutions for this. Afaik some router manufacturers allow for this in order to access printers attached to the router from any connected PC as if it were connected locally.
Even if it is possible, you'd probably have to use a GBit-network connection as a Kinect uses about 60% of the available USB-bandwidth (which should be around 480 MBit/s, so 250+ used by the Kinect).
