I do this very routinely. 
The first step with ssh is to make sure that you enable X tunneling. 
ssh -x remote-host
Then any X based utility you run from that session on remote-host will show 
up on your local system.
I am currently logged in to an Itanium system in the lab and I am running 
Xemacs.
I also am running a system through a Citrix server through exceed from my 
Linux system here even through a corporate proxy server. While my system 
here is SuSE 10.0, when I log into the Citrix server it presents me with a 
Putty icon that is fed through Exceed (a Windows X server).
