While I don't have OI installed, or at least not anywhere handy right now, I do 
see at
http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/en/advanced_search.shtml?token=%2F*vnc&show=p&rpp=50&v=&action=Advanced+Search
 
<http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/en/advanced_search.shtml?token=/*vnc&show=p&rpp=50&v=&action=Advanced+Search>

among other things, the following:
x11/server/[email protected],5.11-2018.0.0.1:20180829T084526Z  Install Manifest
x11/[email protected],5.11-2018.0.0.0:20180327T182611Z      Install Manifest

The former includes /usr/bin/Xvnc, a headless X server that also acts as a VNC 
server; X11 applications or entire desktop can connect to it, and a VNC viewer 
client can connect to it to interact with them.

The latter I gather includes components that can add VNC access to an ordinary 
X server with a physical display - allowing e.g. someone using VNC to assist 
someone at the console.

Properly set up, Xvnc via a session/display manager provides separate sessions 
(which depending on how you set them up, may or may not persist after 
disconnecting the viewer client).

I knew how to do that via dtlogin and CDE; not so much with gdm or whatever OI 
is currently using; but I'm sure a little googling should sort that out.
