Well, on my machine, at least:

    [ridcully:~]$ vncserver
    vncserver: couldn't find "Xvnc" on your PATH.

So that's not helpful.  :-(  AFAICT, Xvnc doesn't exist on my machine at
all.

It's probably possible to build & install Xvnc on Mac OS, but I don't have
time to investigate further.

(Disclaimer: I'm running fink unstable, build from source; results may vary
with other distributions.)
