   I haven't used ssh to tunnel Mathematica 6 using OS X; I've only used it 
for v. 5.2 with OS X, and that was a while ago, so this may turn out to be 
just static on the list.

    However, I have used ssh between Windows and Linux, with both 5.2 and 6.0. 
All I've ever needed to do was connect using 
           ssh -Y username@hostAddress
and then start the frontend by running "Mathematica". Though connecting from 
XP to linux gives me a "bad fonts" error, I can close that window and things 
work fine.  

    Might the same work for you? 

               Good luck, 
                     C.O.
