You have two options. The best option is to use ssh(1)'s X tunnelling
feature. It isn't turned on by default with the debain ssh packages, but
if you trust both hosts, it is safe to turn on. (If you don't trust both
hosts, don't turn it on. :)
If, sadly, you can't use ssh's nifty features, then removing '-nolisten
tcp' from /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc will do the job.
