ssh/root and remote X sessiosn

I have my FreebSD machines set up in the current "preferred" (IE default)
ssh/tty setup which prohibits remote ssh logins. So to get to root I ssh as
my normal user, and su -. All is well, unless I need to run a client as
root. Even manually setting the DISPLAY variable does not seem to allow
this.

How can I make this work?
