You don't need to have X installed on your backend. I don't on mine. What you need is an X server on your PC such as Xmanager from NetSarang (www.xmanager.com for 30 day free trial) and combine is with SSH with X forwarding.

When you configure xstart to connect to the MBE choose ssh and an execution command of "/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -ls -display $DISPLAY". You will then get a little xterm terminal window and in that you can run mythtv-setup. It takes a while to load over wifi network but it works fine.

So, you don't have X installed on your backend, yet you're able to run an X program (xterm) on your backend from the /usr/X11R6 directory (seems a strange name for a directory on a machine without X)? And you're able to run a program with a dependency on X (mythtv-setup) on your backend?

not running != not installed
