In Debiant it would be xtightvncviewer and xvnc4viewer. The original VNC tools accept this format for ages. That is they make the server optional rather than the port. Note that VNC is very insecure so there is not much point in connecting to multiple remote servers but it makes sense to connect to multiple local servers (or multiple local tunnels to remote hosts).
