If you literally need X11 forwarded, as such, to the MacOS X desktop,
then you need to install an X11 subsystem on MacOS X, in order to have
an X11 server piece in place and running, there.  Options are available
from the XFree86 Project, Tenon, and (very recently) Apple itself.

On the other hand, if what you need is more-generically remote graphics
from Linux/X11 imaged onto MacOS X, then VNC is the obvious solution.
