yes!  SSH can automatically redirect X server requests if the X support
is compiled in.  From the SSH man page:

       If the user is using X11 (the DISPLAY environment variable
       is  set),  the  connection to the X11 display is automati-
       cally forwarded to the remote side in such a way that  any
       X11  programs  started from the shell (or command) will go
       through the encrypted channel, and the connection  to  the
       real  X  server  will be made from the local machine.  The
       user should not manually set DISPLAY.  Forwarding  of  X11
       connections  can  be  configured on the command line or in
       configuration files.

The trick is to have the DISPLAY variable set on the *local* machine,
and things are set up automatically on the remote machine.

Ciao,

Andreas
