Not running X. Apple does not run X11 by default. If it is available on the machine, there will be an application called X11 under Applications. Mac OSX 10.3 ships with it, but I cannot remember if it is installed by default. It is available online at http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/ .
Not setting DISPLAY locally before SSH'ing. Terminal is not aware of X11 and does not set the DISPLAY environment variable. You can either use XTerm (which launches automatically with Apple's X11) or set DISPLAY to :0.0 in Terminal after launching X11. Then you should be able to use ssh -X.
Feel free to email me with other MacOSX questions, I've been using it for about a year and a half.

Thanks,
