do you mean that you want to run program on the remote machine and
have them display on your local machine?  if so, you should be able to 
do

 local> ssh -X remote
 remote> xlogo

there are configuration options you can set for ssh to have it
automatically forward X connections, so you don't have to specify the
'-X' option.  note also that if your .bashrc (or whatever) on the
remote machine sets the DISPLAY variable, then this won't work.
