Overview
In order to get a remote X application to display on a Mac:
1. Install XQuartz
2. Start XQuartz (last time I had to restart the Mac for it to accept remote display)
3. Connect to the remote machine with ssh -X ... This will set up the DISPLAY variable appropriately (the sshd server has to be configured to forward X). More details on X forwarding over ssh are available here Configure sshd X Forwarding.
