Yes, but at what point will you have all of XFree86 installed?

A file sharing app is more likely to get attacked than some things, and there is the issue of potentially opening your VNC server to the Internet. And considering you are worried about XFree86 taking disk space, wouldn't the files being shared take up much more?
