Comment(by ryandesign@…):
Ok, I see the same on my system. I guess we're not actually building Xvnc.
My brief research shows it to be a very convoluted process to do so,
including the need to download, extract, rearrange and patch the xorg-
server source. You can see
[http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/tigervnc/build/tigervnc.SlackBuild
how slackware is doing it] (see the parts "Move the xorg-server sources
into the TigerVNC tree" and "*** Building xserver ***"). If someone wanted
to dissect that and turn it into Portfile modifications I'm sure we'd
welcome that. We may want to make the tigervnc server a separate port from
the existing one, so that users who only want the client don't need to
spend time downloading the xorg-server source and building the tigervnc
server.
I assume the vnc server already built into OS X is not suitable for your
needs?
