Have you verified that a VNC server is running on display 4? Do you have a firewall in place that might be blocking the connection? Try:
ssh -L 5954:localhost:5904 unix_host

As others have pointed out, this should be
vncviewer localhost:54
Have you checked out VNC's page about using SSH?
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html
Also a member of the list has put together a page about using PuTTY:
http://www.benjamin.weiss.name/putty-tunnel.html
What SSH software are you using? Have you looked at the debug logs for the SSH client or server?
