Does anyone know if x11vnc and vnc-server can peacefully co-exist

Yes they can. Easily, almost a no-brainer.
I do this quite often, via ssh.
( the default vnc port gets hammered by crackers, and a bug in vnc
logging will fill a terabyte in a couple days )
Let's assume your target host system is in DNS as target.com
and that you've re-located ssh to listen to port 2525.
first,
ssh -X -L 5900:localhost:5900 u...@target.com -p 2525
Now that you're in through ssh, at the command line on target, start up x11vnc
x11vnc -nopw -display :0 -connect localhost
Note that if vnc-server is already listening on port 5900, x11vnc will use
5901
so the numbers above become 5900:localhost:5901
Note that -nopw is because I have decided that since this is not running
except when explicitly called, ssh provides the security.
Now from a different command console, or a GUI, either way
vncviewer localhost
Any number of port combinations and configurations are possible.
