Just set up z/VSE Linux Fast Path or the z/VSE Network Appliance (z13/z13s or higher for the latter), which are both available at no additional charge with your z/VSE base operating system license, then connect to Xymon running on Linux on the same IBM Z machine. If for some odd reason you don't wish to run the Xymon server on Linux on that machine, use xymonproxy for Linux on Z as a forwarder. As far as the network connectivity configurations, true, you cannot monitor something if you cannot connect to it. But that should be a configuration choice, not a permanent state of being. Xymonproxy might also be helpful here.

Re: Xymon
We don't have TCPIP available in VSE so we can't use it unmodified in VSE. A similar problem is in VM, we have IP stacks in VM that cannot reach the Xymon server because they are in different IP segments. Even if we had TCPIP in VSE they probably would be in the same IP segment as the zVM stacks so it would have the same problem as VM itself. In VM we use a shared disk to provide datafiles instead of a direct connection to the Xymon server. Perhaps we might do something similar for VSE (transmit the data to zVM) but I didn't looked into the details for that.
