Yes.

It compiles (with a few fixes), but I never got it working, at least not in a compatible way to the current vnc packages. I have not got either TigerVNC nor xf4vnc in a good enough way for release. So I do not know. Last try was a few (1-3 I do not remember) years ago though so things may have changed.
