If tomcat is always active on that port, you might be able to circumvent the problem by:

root at box $ touch /tmp/.nX1005-lock

FreeNX should then not try to use that DISPLAY.

FreeNX should be able to handle reboots fine.

If not you can add a init script, which calls /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --cleanup (= nxserver --terminate "*") before any session is started.

This should take care of that and is also useful in case of power outage.
