Kinda: you can run an 8-bit VNC session somewhere (which provides
an 8-bit X display), and display the entire thing in a window on
your (24-bit) Mac. A remote console if you will, where the console
is a virtual X display.
You have to be able to deal with X window managers running inside
a regular OS X window and some moderately intricate plumbing. But
it does actually work pretty well. Let me know if you want more
details.

Bummer. VNC is a usable workaround, but I had hoped for more
serious support from Apple.
