Don't!
1: why? the vnc-password protects just as much as the screen-lock password
2: what screen needs to be saved?
3: Most screensavers use processor power other users would like to use.
4:

I'd disable the screensaver (and screenlock) in vnc sessions. For normal
users, I'd even completly stop the server once the user stops. Use the setup
at http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp for this setup.

Have you seen the Xvnc options? There is also some screenlock and
screensaver options in there: `Xvnc -help`.
