Jeff ---- well - sort of...the clients are free to download for your Mac (Chicken of the VNC or nx-client) The server must be setup (in the case of freenx, it must be installed and then set up). FreeNX is a bit slicker, faster, better. VncServer is already installed on your computer and all you need to do is configure it.
