Xvnc works perfectly within vserver ...

just curious, what is that "must have" app?

XFree should not be required to run Xvnc ...

seems like Xvnc is up and running ... eh?

this does not provide enough information to draw
elaborated conclusions, but my guess would be that
xterm tries to grab a pty, which is not available ...

I do not see why you want this to work in a vserver,
but on the other hand, I do not see any reason why
it should _not_ work ...
actually I have a running vnc-server within a virtual
server myself ... but I have no experience with the
proprietary vmware stuff ...
