There is indeed. BeX is a written from scratch, no legacy code X server implementation for the BeOS operating system. It translates X protocol requests into native BeOS Interface Kit messages, so X applications are seamlessly integrated into the BeOS environment.

You can find more information about BeX at its web site:
