Yes, with external electronics you can get a sync-on-green or
composite sync monitor to work with a separate sync VGA card.
I made my own sync-on-green circuit for an IBM 19" workstation
monitor once. Some PC video cards have an option for sync-on-green
and/or composite sync, and some of the XFree86 drivers support
options.
