Why are you running startx?  startx starts a display server (if I remember
correctly) and you don't have a display so you don't need a display
server running on the unix box.

I think you just want to set the DISPLAY variable to your machine running
MI/X and then run you applications.

If you have to do a xhost + it needs to be done on the display server
(the MI/X machine) wich since it is what running mac os? will probably
be a menu dialog allowing you to set permissions.
