You shouldn't need any video card or Linux kernel framebuffer to run a VNC server. Framebuffer means different things to the kernel and to VNC: To the kernel, it means an area of memory which is directly mapped onto the screen, with no acceleration. That requires a graphics card. To VNC, it means an area of memory where the "virtual screen" is stored. Nothing written to that screen goes to a video device, unless you make that happen separately. Otherwise, it's just a virtual screen that you can connect a client to, and see the virtual contents of.
