Comment (by ryandesign):
It looks like the vnc port provides both a server and a client and other
related utilities:
{{{
% port contents vnc | grep bin/
/opt/local/bin/vncconfig
/opt/local/bin/vncpasswd
/opt/local/bin/vncviewer
/opt/local/bin/x0vncserver
}}}
Similarly, although the tightvnc port's description doesn't indicate, it
provides both client and server—unless the no_server variant is used. This
port obviously hasn't been touched in forever; variant names beginning
with `no_` have been out of favor for at least 15 years. It also doesn't
build; see #62636.
tigervnc's description also doesn't say whether it provides a client or
server. (It provides a client.)
Often we base our port descriptions on wording from the project's web page
or readme. I don't know if that's the case for these ports.
Improvements are of course welcome and can be submitted as pull requests.
