Mac OS screen sharing is compatible with VNC, so the viewer can use any VNC client with a view-only mode (e.g. Chicken of the VNC (I think) or TightVNC from MacPorts). (Screen Sharing's superior proprietary compression will be lost, though.)
FWIW, we couldn't get OS X screen sharing to work with RealVNC on Windows, but installing Vine Server on OS X fixed all our problems.
Sadly, that is no longer true of the version of OS X released after that was written. Specifically, neither Lion's built-in "screen sharing" server nor Vine Server on Lion works with any of the Windows VNC clients we tried.
When someone used Windows remotely to monitor my OS X Lion desktop in 2012, it was through "captures" (still images) of my screen saved to a shared folder of Dropbox. Specifically, I wrote some code to fork and exec "/usr/sbin/screencapture -C" every 3 minutes.
