It's an X windows + Mac question.  Do the following:

1) Start X11 (whatever flavor you're using) on your Mac.
2) From an X11 terminal (or an OS X terminal where you've set the
DISPLAY environment variable to :0.0--assuming you are on the default
X11 display) run

ssh -Y <Linux box hostname>

3) Once you've logged in, all X11 apps will display on your Mac.

(The major problem _I_ have when I'm rushed is forgetting (2) and just
using a Terminal.app window where DISPLAY isn't set)
