Yes. 58xx is used only for downloading the java client. Once it's downloaded
and starts running, the java client uses 59xx, just like the native client.

See http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/faq.html#q52
which says, in part:

"In addition, VNC servers normally have a small and very restricted web
server built in, which allows you to connect a browser to them and use the
Java viewer. This runs on port 58xx. Note that this is the HTTP port used
for downloading pages and applets, but once the applet is running it uses
59xx for VNC just like any other viewer."

I have some vague recollection of getting a java viewer to load and run
locally using the java VM without "benefit" of a browser, i.e., not
downloading the java viewer from the VNC server but from the client PC's
hard drive. I suppose in low bandwidth circumstances, this could be useful
in order to avoid the delays of the viewer coming across the wire.
