According to the folks at RealVNC, the problem is that Apple's server isn't compatible.

Look I appreciate any help I can get and the link above is interesting. However the people posting in that interchange seem not to know that there is a OS X compatible vnc-server called OSvnc (not from apple) that does work with vncviewer. So you ask why not use that server. Good question, I think we should.
So I assume there are no vnc client programs around that might be compatible with Apple Remote Desktop. Such is life. As I said there is a compatible client that works in OS X (and maybe in Windows) called Chicken of the VNC. But no Linux version that I can find.
