X.org, definitely.  XFree86, I *thought* so, but I may be mistaken -- 
I've got a bunch of different machines running different distros, so 
it's hard to recall what feature came along when. However, this ( 
http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/x0.html ) link seems to 
indicate that VNC module support is available for XFree86 4 installations.
