    What has to be installed on a host for it to do X11Forwarding in SSH?

    My (FreeBSD) workstation at home is behind NAT. From home, I can SSH to
    a FreeBSD firewall at work, and from there I can get to other hosts
    around the internal network there, some of which run X clients.

    Does X have to be installed *on the firewall* for me to forward X11
    connections from the X clients back to my workstation at home?

    Thanks. :)
