Is it possible to set up VNC on Mac and allow simultaneous private
sessions for users?  Is this only possible if each VNC user has their
own system login and VNC is run as a system service?  Ultimately we
would like to have our Mac available as a server for developers and
designers to login and test their work remotely as we have a
Windows/Linux development environment but need to test our work under
Mac.

What I do is have multiple users on my mac. I have a Vine server running on the mac that is at :0 that is started at boot. That service controls the screen. Then, when the mac boots, I use that connection to log in as me, and start the vine server as me, but on a different port. I then use fast user switching to switch to another user, and start a vnc server for that user on yet another port.

So :0 is the master
:1 is me
:2 is my grandmother

Yeah, it's not perfect, but it works.
