If you install VNC and run a vnc-server session containing your X
application, you can connect to it via vnc-client, disconnect,
reconnect, even connect from a different machine.  The main VNC port
is in net/vnc (http://www.realvnc.com/), but there are any number of
other VNC related programs in ports.
