In setting up a backend the only time I needed X was to configure my
capture devices and such. So if you wanted to setup a backend w/o
having X you can probably get away with just fowarding X to a different
computer (such as your frontend computer) to setup mythbackend. After
you get the backend setup you should never have to bother with X or X
forwarding again.
