If you are starting SSH from within the X server you own, just adding the 
parameter -X will tunnel the X server through the connection. Sometimes it is 
helpful to add the -C (compress) parameter.

So,

ssh -X -C mymachine emacs

will run the X version of Emacs on mymachine on my current display. On a side 
note, the display shows up as localhost:10.0 on the remote machine.
