I recompiled the port x11-servers/xorg-server with adding "--enable-xcsecurity" to the
CONFIGURE_ARGS in the Makefile and now all is fine:

$ ssh -X apitzm@s70devl
Last login: Thu May 10 19:13:18 2018 from 10.49.94.187
/usr/bin/xauth:  file /home/apitzm/.Xauthority does not exist
apitzm@srap16dxr1:~> echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
apitzm@srap16dxr1:~> xclock

There was already a PR filed about this issue in
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221984

And, last word, as I suspected and proofed from the beginning: the
problem was fully LOCAL in our beloved FreeBSD.
