If you have the same home directory (preferably automounted) on both systems it will Just Work (because both systems see the same ~/.Xauthority). Otherwise, you need to transfer the authentication cookie by running xauth on a machine which can see the cookie and piping the result to an rsh of a another xauth onto the other machine. The xauth man page contains a clear example of how to do this.
