Why not? If the box is already running, you can just copy
isolinux/vmlinuz and isolinux/initrd.img to /boot, edit /etc/grub.conf,
add the vnc option etc. in there, make it the default target and reboot.
Well yes, but that's not a function of VNC per se; my wording was
imprecise on that count, but that was the meaning. How often I give
advice to do it that way -- at least in my company -- would be a
function of the "actual remoteness" of the box and the experience level
of the administrator.
