There is a link to WeirdX in the K12LTSP FAQ.  It's a Java X server.  If
you can get Java and WeirdX to run in 32MB, it might work.  There's a
package for the Mac on the WeirdX page if you scroll down far enough.

On the other hand, since I know next to nothing about Macs, this might
just be hot air...
