I was looking at my man page for OpenSSH, and you should be able to just
ssh from the computer running the XServer, and ssh should
*automatically* forward the connections over the encrypted channel.
Check your man page to make sure -- also, the sshd on the other end
probably needs to be configured to support it, I know it gets turned off
sometimes because of past security problems.
