Second thought:

You of course can do a program that opens a TCP/IP server socket and 
uses the (supposedly decently documented) VNC protocol on same. I 
understand this is rather easy if you just want to provide a rectangle 
of pixels (independent from the program's GUI) and have it displayed by 
the VNC client on a PC.

If you want to remote the GUI of the Program without a trace of an 
X-Server (thus without using the VNC-Server product, but via a TCP/IP 
socket of your program itself), this might be possible by enhancing the 
"CustomDrawn" Widget Type appropriate. But supposedly this is a lot of 
work to do.
