Some of this will be distribution dependent.  SuSE installs /etc/xinetd.d/vnc as part of its standard vnc.  All that is then required is to change the "disable" parameter from "yes" to "no", and (re)start xinetd.
I am appending stuff from a working  /etc/xinetd.d/vnc that you can use as a template.

Sorry for the delay in replying: too much work plus a cold.
