I still can forward display to another client system no problem so I know that it not the server having a issue. I finally download XQuartz for Snow Leopard and installed it and after changing ssh_config to "ForwardX11 yes" and "Host to the server I wished to forward from" and rebooted and it now X11 display forwarding works with XQuartz, however, X11 that comes with Apple still doesn't forward the display for some unknown reason.

What is your Firewall setting in the Security System Preference? 10.6.5 is out only a week and did modify X11. I suspect that is when it happened. You do need to apply the latest combo updater any time you reinstall X11 or you are missing important security updates. If you are sure when you updated to 10.6.5 and it corresponds with your problem you should file a bug report with Apple.(If someone hasn't solved the problem for you)
