I would highly recommend that you not open the X11 port, but instead do
forwarding through ssh, which won't require a port to be open. X11 is
not considered a very secure interface, especially, if you do any kind
of xhost changes (aside from copying cookies manually, using xauth).
Nonetheless, X11 uses ports starting at 6000 + the display number, so
for :0, you want port 6000.
