Which totally misses the point of the question, because like any sane
person he wishes to use x11rdp.
VNC sucked back in 1997 when I first tried it and it still sucks today.
It's use in xrdp is nothing more than a sticking plaster and is a
technological dead end. From a practical view point it consumes vastly
more CPU resources than x11rdp.
None of that answers the question where to get x11rdp or how to compile
it. It is distinctly none trivial to compile which is probably why most
people use Xvnc with all it's associated suckyness. There is also very
little if any documentation on it.
Depending on your level of competence the following might help in get
you going

It is my plan to maintain an x11rdp RPM and possibly a xrdp for
RHEL6/CentOS6 in the new year as we plan at work to go production with a
number of such servers that will be accessed using RDP.
For the record, at work my desktop is an RDP session onto a CentOS 5.5
box using xrdp with x11rdp for about a year now. The only bug that I am
aware of is a drawing bug that shows up as magenta lines in the shadows
of widgets on Java applications. Before that I was using the Thinstuff
LX server, which while in some respects was more polished, was far less
stable. However it is discontinued so that is somewhat irrelevant now.
