The Transport Independent RPC white paper from Sun makes reference to a
"loopback" transport; if this is present on all flavors of S5R4, it
could potentially be used for this (I suspect it's sort of a TLI moral
equivalent to UNIX-domain sockets).

If somebody decides to use some other transport, e.g. shared memory,
that can still work, though, if (as you imply) they made "libX11"
dynamic.
