htmlfontify will run without an X11 window (in batch mode even, so without 
any kind of frame at all): You have to jump through a couple of hoops
to trick emacs into using the right display type for fontification, and 
at least cperl mode needs to be tricked into believing it has a display
to work around various optimisations, but on GNU Emacs, it can be done.

I'm not sure about XEmacs, but I haven't ported htmlfontify to work
there yet anyway: It might be possible, I'm not sure.

Have a look at:

Also, I think the latest htmlize came with a bunch of new features - 
the ability to run in batch mode or use a different display style than 
the one emacs has detected to get the fontification settings might
be included.
