What about http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/ ?

While somebody else is using the other box? Bad idea.

The neat thing about X is that you can export the display for *your* applications and leave local users undisturbed. With a Dual Core and loads of memory, chances are they won't even notice that you're running stuff on their box.

And while I could in theory run X on the Mac too, as pointed out by krischik, it doesn't help me a lot if stuff I want to export to my own display are native OSX apps like XCode and the software I am developing with it.
