Hello,
As others said, you can use VNC with Xorg. See the ports.
However, if you want to share with VNC a display that is already
active, for example the Gnome desktop you are working on, you can try
'net/x11vnc' (other VNC servers open a new display).
IIRC Gnome (and/or KDE) has an utility to share the desktop, based on
VNC.
Best Regards,
Ale
