Didn't work. I did install from the Tiger CD and about now says
version 1.1.
Since it didn't work, I tried deleting X11.app and /etc/X11 and
reinstall -- still no luck.
I still get:
$ telnet localhost 6000
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
I've tried starting X with and without the firewall on.
I did try ssh -X and ssh -Y. I think both of those just forward port
6000 though and the thing isn't running on port 6000. (I did turn on
X11 forwarding on in my remote host and rebooted it -- no luck.) I'm
not even clear how DISPLAY=:0.0 on my local system is working -- must
be a socket in the file-system somewhere.
Where is what port and whether to listen configured anyway?
This really should work... I'm not sure what is going on.

You're still better off using ssh X11 forwarding. It's not port
forwarding you need to turn on, but X11 forwarding in the
configuration of the remote ssh daemon. Then ssh -X will work. If
you can't control that config, then you can fake it by explicitly
forwarding remote port 6000 + n to local port 6000 and manually
setting DISPLAY on the remote system to :n.
