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?
