X11 forwarding the other way



All this talk of using SSH and X11Forwarding to get X apps to show
up on my Mac is terrific. However, there are times I would like to
go the other way: that is, I'd like to run X apps on my Mac, and
have them show up on my FreeBSD or Linux box. When I SSH into my
Mac with X11 forwarding enabled on my FreeBSD box, my DISPLAY is
still either unset or set to localhost:0.0 instead of (for example)
localhost:10.0 or some such. Does X11.app allow this? Does X11.app
even enter in to it? I thought I read that SSH ran its own X proxy,
that forwarded over the SSH tunnel. If so, where do I change sshd
configs (or whatever) to make this happen?

Thanks, all. :)
