No, your running xserver has nothing to do with ssh X forwarding.  X
doesn't need to be running, or even configured.  I have X programs on
one headless box that doesn't have X fully installed or configured.
Yet, I can run X programs remotely through ssh.  All that is needed are
some x libraries, which are installed as dependencies from a debian x
package like ethereal.
