No, you cannot do it. It's just the way X works as a socketed display server.
However, there is no reason you cannot use vncviewer from your :0.0 X session to run the :1 session as suggested in the FAQ you quoted. I do it all the time and there is really no performance penalty. Connecting directly to the root display should be possible with the V4 beta, I have not tried it, still using 3.3.7 production version. Oh, BTW, forget x0rfbserver, it cannot be compiled under Sparc Solaris.
