Quick question about ssh on mac

I'd like to show a friend of mine some linux based OSes I have running headless in vms.

Can a mac handle X11 forwarding over ssh (as a client) out of the box without any additional software to be installed?

If not, do they have an RDP client installed by default?
 
Leopard and Snow Leopard have a VNC server installed by default, you just need to enable it. Past that, I have never had a need to remote into anything that wasn't a Mac or a Windows box. For Macs you use Screen Sharing, for Windows you use Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection 2.0.
 
I'm talking about Mac as the client. Specifically would the command (on the mac):
Code: 
ssh -X user@linuxhost 'comand'
forward the X11 gui application specified by "command" to the mac screen.
