Without a display manager? Yes-- simply use startx to start a local (server-side) X server on the GPU, then use `xhost +LOCAL:` to grant access for that X server to the local machine (or share the XAuth token with other users who need to access it.) vglserver_config essentially automates the latter, but it requires the use of a display manager.
Without a "3D X server"? Not currently, but I am seeking funding to make that happen: https://github.com/VirtualGL/virtualgl/issues/10 The technology is already in place, thanks to nVidia, but extensive work will be required to utilize it. One of the things that will be required is a complete overhaul of VirtualGL so that it uses FBOs rather than Pbuffers for off-screen rendering, and this is likely to be very painful.
