It does have a few X apps (Xeyes, Xterm,etc). I don't think they are installed by default anymore, but they were in there as of Leopard. I will say that using X11 remotely on anything but a really fast network connection is painful though unless you're only using xterms or very simple GUI apps. If it's really intensive sometimes I will Remote Desktop to my work Windows 7 PC and run an X client from there.
