Running a VNC server means you have to be able to capture the screen, which is possible only if the phone is rooted (meaning running with Linux root access because the framebuffer does not user-level read permission). Most phones are not rooted. You would also need to be able to insert UI events (like buttons and screen touch) programmatically, which is also not supported in the SDK, and most likely needs root access as well.
