Distributed GC algorithms for C++ do exist.  Take a look at
http://www-sor.inria.fr/projects/sspc.  We (INRIA) have an open-source
implementation that you can use.  However it is tightly integrated into
a remote-invocation system that is not Corba.  Corba does not support
GC.  DCOM, does, in a very poor way (explicit reference counting, no
fault tolerance).
