First, check to be sure xauth really isn't there (/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth). 
Since you didn't have the XFree86-libs installed I wouldn't be surprised
if you don't have this installed.

If you don't have it, your choices are:

1) Edit the vncserver script to not use xauth (after reading up on the
security ramifications of doing this, of course).

2) Install XFree86-4.2.1-13.73.23.i386.rpm

It appears that in the case of Red Hat 7.3 xauth didn't have it's own RPM,
so you basically have to install all of X to get it.  I imagine that you
will have some depenencies to track down for this one (XFree86-base-fonts
and XFree86-xfs jump out at me).  Again, using up2date (or apt or yum)
would be preferred.
