That would be very much the wrong thing to do, and would break things.

Set up correctly, the ssh server sets up a different socket on the remote 
system to act as a tunnel to the machine you're coming from. So, for instance, 
from one of my ssh sessions:

 $ echo $DISPLAY
 localhost:14.0

If it's not working then you still have the ssh client or server configured 
wrong.
