I use tightvnc server on NetBSD hosts where I need graphical tools but won't always be physically sitting at the console. It allows me to remotely connect to a virtual desktop using a VNC viewer tunneled through an ssh connection.
I'm not sure whether this qualifies as a bug but tightvnc seems to build an X11 with literally no fonts, which prevents the VNC server from firing up. The following command links tightvnc's X server to the fonts that shipped with NetBSD.
ln -s /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/fonts /usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts
