Daniel, The standard VNC release (http://www.realvnc.com) includes a vnc.so module that can be installed easily into an existing X server (see http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/x0.html). Alternatively, you can just run "vncserver" to create a separate X desktop, accessible only via VNC.
For most users, VNC 4 will outperform the old VNC 3 codebase, on which TightVNC is based.
