Unfortunately not yet. I don't think my work is currently in a 'release-ready' 
state, even for development. I'm currently working against the Xvnc 
1.5-xserver branch, which is rebased to current Xorg 7.4 release candidate 
(and so I'm using Xserver version 1.5.0 snapshot).

I started out by finding that someone had already implemented RandR in an 
earlier version of Xvnc then I forward ported it to the current branch. I've 
now implemented an RFB extension protocol that allows the client to request a 
resolution change on the fly, which seems to work fine but results in the 
problem I originally posted about in this thread.

The patch for Xvnc 4 is available from 
http://yoush.homelinux.org:8079/nikita/vnc-xrandr/xvnc4-randr-patch-20060603

Regards,

George
