Yes you can get X11 for your A500. Here are the two typical scenarios:

1) A500 1M mem, serial (using DECnet DDCMP) to machines that support
   the DECnet protocol. (We have slip in beta testing but requires you
   to already be under our AS225 support program)

2) A500 with 20m disk and 3megs of ram = Complete local development
   system. With X11R4 Athena widgets, toolkits, includes files, etc.
   No network required since with Lattice 5.10a  you have a complete
   development environment for X11. You get SANA local domain
   connections. B/W and Color server, OpenLook, TWM plus other clients.

Email back for more details if interested. Remember to include
postal address and we'll send an information pack.
