That's quiet possible. Just install vncsercer on the machine and connect to screen:1 or whatever. You do need a telnet or ssh connection to the machine to start it the first time (passwords and all that) and/or if this machine shuts-down often a shell script to start the vncserver after booting. There are quite a few other options to run X on a remote machine, depending on where the monitorless machine is (i.e behind a firewall or not) and what it's being used for but VNC is IMHO by far the easiest to set up from XP.
