Will Safeguard Disk Encryption for Mac run on an OS X server, or only on a client OS?

Servers typically don't need FDE honestly, if you're that concerned about someone physically running away with your server or it's drives then definately physical security is the way to go honestly.  Mac laptops are PRIME data theft targets and we're moving to encrypt all of them.  The servers are physically secured to prevent easy theft.  It's not that it can't be done but the type of people that PHYSICALLY steal servers are the types of data theft you can't really protect against because they'll use the old fashioned gun to the head to force your passwords and/or they have resources and equipment to circumvent physical security, possibly legally with a warrant and property seizure in which case a good lawyer is your best option.

I understand the tendancy to want to encrypt everything but in a servers case, especially for remote management, POA removes manageability without using an expensive IP KVM system or something like that.  I'm sure it will happen eventually but encrypting drives on servers isn't a big thing in enterprise unless you're an NSA/DoD based company because servers are hard targets for data theft and require more resources/physicaly access than is easily available.

Honestly if you're an apple company I'm sure you have a nice fleet of ipads/iphones, look into the SOPHOS MDM to enforce passcodes and data protection, those are MUCH more likely targets for data theft and actual data security breaches.
