In short: No.

Longer answer: A para-virtualized DomU will display it's graphics
through the general X-windows interface. A fully virtualized DomU will
display it's graphics indirectly through the Dom0 QEMU device model,
again ending up being X-windows interface in VNC. 

Since the X-windows interface is network based, the requirement for
displaying a DomU's graphics is that you have network connectability on
the (virtual)machine displaying graphics. Quite often, this machine
would be Dom0, but it can equally be another Linux (or Windows) machine.
You will need to have a X-windows runnning on the machine, obviously. 

Please don't ask me how to set this up - there's oodles of information
regarding how to set up X-windows to display the graphical output from
another machine, and it's not going to make any difference if the
machine is a virtual or "real" machine in this sense. Googling will find
it for you...
