ssh X forwarding problem

I have two machines, cortizone and morphine.  On cortizone if I ssh into
the box I can run X programs just fine (like eximon).  On morphine, I
cannot get X forwarding going.

FreeBSD cortizone.yoafrica.com 5.4-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p2 #0: Mon Jul 25 09:13:02 UTC 2005 sysjo at cortizone.yoafrica.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CORTIZONE  i386
FreeBSD morphine.yoafrica.com 5.4-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p2 #0: Mon Jul 25 11:21:15 CAT 2005 sysjo at morphine.yoafrica.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MORPHINE  i386

their /etc/ssh/sshd_config's are exactly the same and have the following
in them
#X11Forwarding yes
#X11DisplayOffset 10
#X11UseLocalhost yes

The only difference I can find is that on cortizone, there are the
following ports installed which are not on morphine
xorg-clients-6.8.2/
xorg-fonts-encodings-6.8.2/
xorg-fonts-truetype-6.8.2/

Will that matter?

TIA,

-John
