I looked into this a couple of years ago, but at least at the time, the 
available options were slim, they all seemed to be mainly "science fair" 
projects, and most didn't support the Tight protocol (and the ones that 
did were using the older, slower version, not the faster version used by 
TurboVNC or TigerVNC.)

It would not be rocket science to write a multicast proxy, though, using 
libvncserver/libvncclient (the libvncserver API supports multicast, and 
as of 0.9.9, that library supports the TurboVNC version of Tight 
encoding.)  I think you'd also have to have support for multicast in 
vncviewer, though (maybe I'm wrong about that.)
