It would be possible to add VNC support to a standard X server, so that it operated this way, but we have no plans to do so. We tend to run all our X sessions as VNC sessions and only use the local X server to run the viewer. It’s very fast when on the same machine as the server! If you feel that it’s overkill to run two X servers on the same machine, you might consider Ganesh Varadarajan’s svgalib-based viewer, available from the contribs page.
