Not necessarily but you will need some of the X libraries installed so
you have xhost and similar. I don't recall which packages are needed
(they may be included in the suggested packages for openssh) but
installing xterm was sufficient last time I ran into a problem like
this.

Try running ssh with -v, -vv, -vvv, etc. as it gives some very useful
(and verbose output), also check the logs on the server as some errors
are not given to the client for security reasons.
