Unsure whenever I catch the meaning of your sentence.
If you meant 'one needs to run a remote application via X protocol, so
one should prepare own X accordingly' - one can authorize X client in
his X server, but that's it. After authentication X client can do
anything with any other X client on the same display.
If you meant 'what'd you do in this situation' - I'd run dedicated X
server just for this task and just for this application.
