You have to enable X11 forwarding (the default ssh and sshd configs on FreeBSD appear to have it disabled). You can do this on an ad-hoc basic with the -X flags to ssh, or more permanently with 'ForwardX11 yes' in your ~/.ssh/config file. Check out the ssh and ssh_config manpages for full details on the format of the config files.
