I happen to be on IBMLink last night and noticed that IBM has a couple 
packages.  They have an X Client package for the PC that runs under DOS.
They also have an X server package that runs on PS/2s with AIX.
The prices for the packages were (list) around $475-495 - owners of the
earlier versions could upgrade for about half that.  I guess the idea
here is that you can use the DOS boxes as X terminals connected to the
X server (and of course they'd just love for you to buy their version of
Unix running on their machine - but I don't think this is a requirement).

If you think this may be what you're looking for, reply to my ID and I'll
get more specific information (in fact, I'll probably just download the
announcement letters and mail them to you).
