Well, VNC is one way, but SSH provides X forwarding so that you can run X
apps on the remote machine and have them displayed on the local machine. 
A short discription is available in the ssh man page for "-x" and "-X". 
Assuming you have some X apps installed on the remote machine, try this:

[local]$ ssh -X user@remotehost
[remotehost]$ xeyes

No apache needed.  Swat includes it's own HTTP server.

$ rpm -q samba-swat

Then to enable it:

$ /usr/sbin/chkconfig swat on

Well, if you want to use the default configuration (only available from
localhost) then you can leave your firewall along and use SSH port
forwarding.

$ ssh -L 901:localhost:901 remotehost

Then go to "http://localhost:901"; in a web browser (on your local machine).
