I mean the X server on your local machine. Something like

ssh -R6011:localhost:6000 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

should set up a port forwarding from display :11 on the remote machine
to :0 on the local machine, so running

DISPLAY=localhost:11 nedit ...

in that session should connect to the local X server directly.

Of course, this requires that you don't start the X server with
-nolisten tcp.
