I think of several reasons: First of all, they have not found Xvnc. Xvnc is a replacement for XFree, the are both Xservers. XFree is a demonstration project (at least, that's how it started) just to give an idea of an implementation for an XServer. If you mean that XFree comes with a lot of tools like xterm and even a window manager like twm then that's just the distribution. You can make a similar distribution with Xvnc. There can also be something like a license conflict, you should not bundle 2 packages with different license types, specially if both packages are free and easy to mix. Xvnc is now also available as a extention to XFree: http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/. I bet you view of a complete Xserver is to include things like a window manager and tools like xterm. I'd call that a complete Xdistribution, not just a Xserver.
