We actually do this all the time.
 
Assume an X server running locally, and the current prompt/window has
permission to open X apps:
 
ssh root@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:root@xxxxxxxxxx> 
ethereal &
 
The ethereal window should then appear on your machine, but the packet
capture will take place on the remote machine.  Just remember to either do
the packet capture on a separate interface than the one you use to ssh, or
do something like this as a capture filter:
 
... and not host where.you.sit

Is it possible to sniff the packets of a remote machine with ethereal?
