I once ported X (X11R4) into 286 base PC. So conceptually,
it is possible. Porting VNC is mush easier than porting
X itself. What you need for porting VNC is
a. TCP stack
b. Graphic Library
VNC's graphical operation is quite simple. You need only
Fill Rectangle
Draw bitmap
Copy Rectangle Area
But if you are looking for ready-to-run VNC viewer for 286,
I don't know such beast.
