I guess -X achieves a particular goal, that is being
able to login to a remote box, run X11 apps and make
them use your local X11 display. Everything else is
beyond its scope...

You can however use your favorite NAT to translate
requests for, let's say:
192.168.0.1:6000 to 127.0.0.1:6000

and have the 127.0.0.1 bound socket exposed to the
network...
