Essentially you have to start a VNC server for each
remote display. Then you have to create a directory
/etc/dt/config, copy /usr/dt/config/Xservers
( Not recommended to edit /usr/dt/config/Xservers directly )
to it and edit it to add an entry for each display number
to start dtlogin on. Most of the stuff has to be done as root.

See:

http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/archives/2000-08/0442.html

The above also mentions copying S99dtconfig from /etc/rc2.d to rc3.d
if you are using mounted paths. I did not have to do it to
use my home directory paths. If you do that dtconfig -d won't
work to disable dtlogin at boot up.

I actually used info from the above URL to run VNC on solaris
like WinVNC so that you can see the existing desktop remotely.
I shall post this later. I had fixed some quality problems.
You can take a dump of xdpyinfo on your normal display and
save it in a file for later reference. Then use the max. color
depth for server and specify the same depth with truecolor in
client. However as someone pointed out some programs like vlsi
cad may not work. I had to do this since I did not want my
regular desktop to look worse. Hope I do not run into problems.

While testing you do not have to reboot everytime. You can:

run dtconfig -kill
kill programs from ps -aef which match "grep -i vnc" or
     grep -i openwin ( None should ideally )
followed by /etc/init.d/dtlogin start
