I mean exactly - connect directly to the guest machine. Run whatever 
software your (unspecified) guest OS needs in order to provide it's 
own GUI via <your choice of remote viewer>.
For Linux, you can setup an X server to provide a VNC connection. For 
Windows you'd be better with Remote Desktop than VNC - it passes 
display primitives (eg "draw a rectangle") rather than passing a 
bitmap of the result, and works very well with less bandwidth.
In both cases you'll have remote access to the machine once it has 
booted. Getting access to a booting machine will require you to use 
the VNC (or text) console provided by the host.
Personally, for a Linux guest I'd not run a graphical console. I'd 
use a text based console.
