There is a free XServer and Client for DOS: Nano-X which I ported to DOS: https://code.google.com/p/nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos/
Since programming on the X11 level is not common today, you rather use GTK or Qt, I also ported the FLTK GUI to DOS. This GUI has far more features than a single person could implement and can be used as an alternative to GTK. My XFDOS distro is based on FLTK for DOS.
