It's about as close as you can get, I think.
If I understand aright, "standard" VNC uses its own display, which
means that it can't somehow "attach" to an existing X display.
I've never used it, but according to its description, x11vnc -does-
allow you to connect to a running X display:
"x11vnc differs from traditional UNIX VNC servers in that
it is accessing a real X displays that may already be in
progress rather than creating its own X server for clients
to connect to."
