Yes, it is possible.
You'll have to login via SSH, for example, and start a X user session
within your login.

You cannot share a physical and virtual console, as you can with x11vnc [1].


So, for Xspice on a 'physical' host it would be something like this
(do note: I'm writing this by memory, some errors may exist).

Xspice --disable-ticketing :3 --port 6000 --deferred-fps 15
DISPLAY=:3 dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session

Brief notes:
* uptime of Xspice appeared to not be infinite, around 1 week
* you'll have no 3D acceleration.
* you can try to have 3D accelleration playing with VirtualGL, but I
only got graphics corruption.
