I have a system with Jenkins, Ant, PHP, PHPunit among other php tools.
Is it possible to make Jenkins push the into a remote server, use Ant to run the Tests and them retrieve the data about the tests?

I would write a separate ant-script and use ssh-support of ant for the tasks. The ssh-tasks worked very well for some of my projects in the past. This way Jenkins would run a local ant-build, which internally does all the remote access.
Another plus of this would be that you can manually run the ant-script (even parts of it) whenever necessary, which makes development and testing of it much easier.
See http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/scp.html and http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/sshexec.html for documentation of the ssh-related tasks in Ant.
