Why would vncpasswd need to accept an encrypted password? vncpasswd's only purpose is to encrypt a plain text password and write it to a file. If you already have an encrypted password, just write it directly to the VNC password file instead.
VNC uses DES3 to encrypt passwords for VNC Password Authentication. DES3 is not a particularly strong form of encryption by today's standards. If you want more specifics about the algorithms, I direct you to the source code (it is open, after all.)
