Is VNC available for PC-BSD?

[californiajeff]

I was curious if it is possible to get a VNC viewer and server for PC-BSD in its .pbi file installer format?

I want to setup a PC-BSD system and I really need to have a VNC Server on it.

I don't think a pbi has been made, but remember, you can add many things with pkg_add -r. In this case, I'd recommend tightvnc, so it would be
pkg_add -r tightvnc

Thanx for the help.

I tried the above and I having trouble figuring out what is wrong. Can you help me? Here is my shell log:

PCBSD# pkg_add -r tightvnc
Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports ... tvnc.tbz.. (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.4-release/Latest/tightvnc.tbz..). Done.
PCBSD# tightvnc
tightvnc: Command not found.

I figured out what I did wrong in the above post. You have to type vncviewer to run the tightvnc viewer. I should have remembered that! I was to remote control my Windows XP machine from PC-BSD. However, running tightvnc viewer in PC-BSD seemed more buggy than I remember it being in Mandriva Linux.
