I guess you get the things backwards : what you need is an Xserver to run remote X
apps (clients). Yes, this is confusing first ...

Once again, things are backwards : the way it goes is more about a telnet session. You
telnet into your Unix box, get a shell. Under that shell, you tell it where you want X
app to direct their calls for display by setting an environment variable, i.e the
DISPLAY variable.
It is semi-permanent to the telnet session. By this I mean the session will keep this
variable as long as you don't change it.
Normally, this information is lost when you disconnect. However, you can setup a
special user, say "nt_user", with a .login file which will reset the display each time
you connect again by saying :
setenv DISPLAY my_nt_machine_ip:0
if you are using tcsh
or
export DISPLAY=my_nt_machine_ip:0
if using bash.
As of an Xserver under NT, I know there is xwin32 (but not free, shareware I think).
There was another one but I cannot remember.
You might want to try some search engines
