My first blush is that you don't have any of the X support system
installed. Xvnc replaces the X server application, but the server
application is only one file out of a considerably suite of other servers,
fonts, config files, etc that is X11R6. I'm not sure how you would go
about installing X11R6 for Solaris 2.6. In theory, you could get source
from the X Consortium or from the XFree86 project (although I doubt the
XFree86 source will work very well on non-Intel CPUs). Hopefully someone
with more Solaris experience can verify and suggest ways of getting X
installed.
Alternatively, you could try out Tridia VNC, which *claims* to be able to
remote control the console (text mode), which would be excellent for your
setup. When I pulled down the Tridia installer, it bombed while trying to
change ownership of some files to a userid and groupid that don't exist on
my system, so I'm not terribly impressed myself, but maybe it's just me.
