A secure way would be to SSH from the X11 server to the client, example:
x11-server-this-is-the-screen% ssh -X client-where-app-is-started xclock
then xclock displays on the screen, completely safely and security through
SSH.
However, if you really want to open the TCP port 6000 so as to make your
X11 setup insecure, you simply need to modify
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
and remove the `-nolisten tcp'
