Not exactly that, but you can start it under Xvfb (or vnc, or similar)
in the background, and then get a frame in your current display by
calling `make-frame-on-display' (either by putting it at the end of your
.emacs or by using gnuserv/gnuclient).

Works well so far, and it makes Emacs survive X crashes :)

To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.
