No, the RDP server is not going to be OSE. The current API is very much biased towards VRDP and it's not possible to fit other remote protocols into the API. The OSE VNC support isn't well integrated and what we're working on is generalizing the VRDP API (it's called VRDE now, VirtualBox Remote Desktop Extension) so that VNC and others can be integrated at the same level of functionality as VRDP. Note that we do not plan to migrate the VNC support to the new API, this will require some work by the maintainer or other community members.
