   xdpyinfo is a
standard X11 client.  I would be very surprised if it
 wasn't on VMS, assuming you have the X11 client programs built for VMS
 and installed.  
 This is a pretty old version of VMS and I can't find that utility. 
An old version of VMS most likely won't install these utilities by
default.  I believe there are optional packages you can apply to VMS
on top of the base installation.  Chances are you'll find an optional
package of X11 client programs.

Do you have xterm?  If you don't have xterm, then it sounds like its
the optional package thing.  (Pretty much *everyone* needs xterm.)  If
you do have xterm, then it sounds like they opted not to install
xdpyinfo for VMS, or its still an optional package of "less used
utilities for X11" that you have to find.

Or you could just compile it :-).
