Getting into a MacOS X host via VNC when it is te not enable can be done via command line.
The command is quite long so before staring creating an alias or putting it into the path is probably a good idea.
alias ard-kickstart=/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart
Set up the basic privileges for the service.
sudo ard-kickstart -configure -allowAccessFor -allUsers -privs -all
Setup to allow VNC clients
sudo ard-kickstart -configure -clientopts -setvnclegacy -vnclegacy yes
Secure the service with a password
sudo ard-kickstart -configure -clientopts -setvncpw -vncpw <Password>
Restart service
sudo ard-kickstart -restart -agent -console
