Establish an X session between a unix host and your mac

Run XQuartz, and then open up a new xterminal.  If one doesn't show up, you can open a new window by pressing ⌘N

From the terminal ssh into the remote host by entering in the terminal the following: 
ssh -Y root@198.18.3.20

Once you've logged into the remote host, then from the xterm, you can run an x session directly from it
[root@kvm ~]# virt-manager 
[root@kvm ~]# libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

and the Xapp will display

Modify your xterm console: 

The terminal might not look too good when you first install.  You can make things better with the following changes.

create a Xdefaults file in your home directory
vim .Xdefaults

Then add the following: 
xterm*Background:               black
xterm*Foreground:               green
xterm*cursorColor:              LightBlue
xterm*pointerShape:             arrow
xterm*pointerColor:             blue
