Hm. I thought OS X, being a flavor of *BSD, used X11 by default. Is this not so? (I've never been willing to spend the money to buy an Apple machine, much to my wife's disgust, so I speak from ignorance here...)
X11 ships on the installation DVD but is not pre-installed. Much the same as X-Code (development environment) is shipped on the media but not installed by default.
X11 applications such as OpenOffice can automatically launch X11.app if its not already running.
I've played a bit with "ssh -X freebsd.machine" from within X11.app. Am not sure why I get errors. I thought machine endianness was something that X11 took care of? Thinking it worked better before FreeBSD changed to X.org from XFree86.
