I download and installed xvnc from sunfreeware.com on solaris 10 x86.
It failed to start with the following error:

Your $DISPLAY variable is 'localhost:13.0' which I guess is
ssh X redirection back to where you are sitting.

You need to set $DISPLAY to the X display you want to
export via VNC, i.e. ":0.0" before staring x11vnc or use
the x11vnc command line option '-display' to set it.

BTW, that sunfreeware version is very old, almost 4 years.
You might want to try a newer one.
