Is this something in X, or something in the security update? I CAN still ssh
to my mac, so the firewall hasn't cut everything out. By the firewall panel
does look different than I remember it.
Any ideas?

In the X11.app preferences, have you enabled "Allow connections from
network clients" in the Security pane?
Alternatively, this is
defaults write org.x.X11 nolisten_tcp -boolean false
if you use the defaults command.
Having said that, I'm running 2.5.0 of Xquartz (I haven't updated to the
2.5.1 release candidate), and because after the X server exits nobody
seems to clean up the /tmp/.X<n>-lock file that I believe X11.app creates
and that /usr/X11/bin/startx uses to determine the server's display
number, it's kind of hard to predict the display number the X server is
going to use the next time it is started. The launchd socket name that is
set as the DISPLAY environment variable for your login session may always
end in :0, but if you use ps to look at the arguments that were passed to
/usr/X11/bin/X when it was started you may discover that you have actually
started a server for display :2, or :3, or whatever, and you may have to
tell remote hosts to use mymac:2 as their display instead of mymac:0. I
don't know if this misfeature has been fixed in 2.5.1_rc1 or not.
