Yes (and no, you don't need VNC), assuming the system will boot at
all; some will, some won't. I take it there's no on-board video of any
kind at all?

Eh, LCD monitors are incredibly cheap nowadays. If you can't get an
otherwise to-be-thrown-out 15" LCD flat panel from work or a neighbor
as I did, why not buy one for $50 from eBay? It'll be small enough to
lug around to any headless box that temporarily needs a display.
