Is it possible to reduce network load by compressing sql query results in a transparent way for the client?

No. SQL workload is rarely driven by result size. Unless is an ETL job or data shipping, there is never a reason to return a large result to start with. For those particular scenarios that need large amounts of data shipped to the client, there are better solutions than T-SQL queries (log shipping, service broker, replication).
It is possible to reduce workload dramatically though by improving data model, schema design and the access queries.
