Hi Andrew,
I have tightvnc running on a headless machine and see various errors,
too:
Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/local/lib/X11/rgb'
xrdb: not found
xsetroot: not found
I ignore them, and tightvnc seems to run ok regardless, at least to the
extent where I can connect satisfactorily from other machines.
Here's what's installed (on a 6.3 system):
# pkg_info -rx tightvnc
