I knew it would turn out to be a newbie issue :)
Result:
X11 was not installed on the server.
Apparently, X11 must be installed as an application on the Mac in order for anything
to be forwarded from it.
Thanks all for the help.
This looks like X11 forwarding works. Maybe DISPLAY is reset in some login scripts.
what does this report:
ssh -Y remotehost
echo $DISPLAY

I'm sure I added too many exports this time, was just running out of things to try.

Ok, I think I may have figured out the problem, although I still don't know how to
solve it.
The documentation, advice, FAQs, etc seem to have gotten me confused.
I suspect I've been doing some of these tasks on the wrong system:
export DISPLAY(foo)
changing X11Forward in ssh(foo) files
etc
box 1: Windows 2000 Server
cygwin
box 2: Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther)
cygwin was installed with openssh, today, from the latest setup.exe.
FYI, it's probably a good idea to review http://cygwin.com/problems.html
before sending bug reports... Reading
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README
Try running ssh-host-config, and see if that works... If not, it's time
to debug -- maybe X11 forwarding is not enabled on the remote end at all.
Try ssh -Yvvv, and see if that provides any clues...
