I did a test install on a spare Ubuntu box I had here, and yes, when I ask
apt to install vnc4server, it wants to pull down a ton of packages,
including several xserver* ones. So if a small footprint on the server side
is important to you this may not be the route to go...
You need to have the X code and window manager installed but not necessarily
running on the console. It is fairly difficult to imagine a box that is still
running today that couldn't handle a GUI, seeing as how virtually everything
shipped in the last 15 years has been designed for, and usually shipped with MS
windows. If you are running something that old/limited, I'd recommend replacing
it with a VMware guest on some more modern box and saving some power.
