I believe that is incorrect.  It may be disabled in the client by
default, but it should not be disabled on the server.  There is no risk
to the server by enabling X forwarding.  The risk is to the client.
Just make sure your ~/.ssh/config file contains a "ForwardX11 yes" line
in an appropriate place.  See ssh(1) for more info on config file
format.
