Not quite... but there is at least one vendor who manufactures a single-head genlock VNC server; it plugs into your VGA, KB and Mouse connectors, and has an Ethernet connector on the other side. This might actually be more useful, I think. Wish I could give you a vendor name. Startech makes them with builtin KVM switches, but I'm not sure if they have the single port model.
