You cannot do this.  X11 is a network based protocol, and has the concept of 
client and server.  Svgalib is made to be light weight, and cannot be 
exported from your local display, that I know of.

Svgalib is akin to windows, as it is made to just display graphics locally.

Yes look over at google for network block devices.
