The Mac Pro does not come with an Apple remote, nor does it in fact have a built-in IR receiver to use one.

For video editing, grab a refurb mac pro. I bought a 24inch iMac when I started editing but moved up to a refurb mac pro. A big difference. Less than half the time to render. Are you going to use FCE or FCP?

if you get a wireless keyboard, then you have pretty much the same features as a remote. Apple escape gets you into front row mode ...

Or you can get a remote like the ATi RemoteWonder. The driver software is still PowerPC, but it works just fine. They're cheap on eBay, too. And they're RF, so they work through walls.
