My understanding is unfortunately no. X servers can only draw to the
visuals they know about, and if a server only has (for example) 8 bpp
visuals, it means it does not have code (or hardware) to draw to 24
bpp visuals.

I think you will have to use a client side library (libart etc.) to do
the drawing if you must have 24 bpp drawing on all systems.
