Everything is working now, but for completeness:

1.) ssh -XY from the Macbook to the MacPro,
That now works (after making the changes I noted in sshd_config). Prior to the changes to the config file, I was getting a forwarding error.
2.) At the MacPro prompt _you got over ssh_, issue $/usr/X11/bin/xeyes (no display)
Yes, that works too, now that my mistake in trying to explicitly use the -display option was pointed out and corrected.
If that fails, more work is needed. If it works, X11 tunneling is working, and you can decide if that setup will serve the intended application.
As far as I can tell, at this point she should be ready to rumble. I wrote out a very explicit recipe of directions for her to get the edited config file onto her laptop (plus examples of the ssh command). The only missing pieces are a current copy of the VPN client she needs for her work and the IP address or name of the host machine on which she will be working remotely. She is still in surgery as I write this, so I probably won't have the final answer for another day or so.
I start by issuing the $ssh -XY command that sets up the connection to the remote host. Then on that remote host, I issue the "$/usr/X11/bin/xeyes -display <host>:1.1" command. (Which I thought rode back in the established tunnel.)
Thanks for everyone's help.
