Could you explain this a bit further?
If you are talking about the windowing system that Solaris normally
displays, then it should just be a matter of starting the CDE in the VNC
startup scripts (I forget how...).
If you are talking about taking what is displayed on a Solaris monitor and
running that through VNC, then you have another issue entirely. The short
answer is that no, you can't do that with VNC. The long answer is that you
could, but it would probably involve hacking both VNC and X (has anyone else
already tried this?). In this case, probably the best thing is to have VNC
running, access VNC by remote, and if you ever log onto the Solaris machine
locally, then you can use the VNC viewer to access the VNC session that is
already running.
