Render engine?

Does Motion have a render engine for the same and an additional computer?

Also is there a way to render queue projects for unattended multiple renders?

Mac Pro 3.0 x 8-core, Mac OS X (10.4.11), 16 GB RAM, ATI Radion 1900 and Blackmagic Intensity Video Cards, 4-750 GB HDs

I HAVE Compressor, but will it initially render Motion files or just re-compress video files?

I presume you mean rendering to some output movie format, rather than a RAM preview render?

have you tried Compressor? A motion file is essentially a quicktime container file with links to movies and images and a lot of metadata. Compressor will flatten that into a single movie of your choice. I'm sure compressor is smart enough not to go through come comp/decompo process if the end result is the same as the source. But even so digitally speaking there is probably no difference anyway.
