Or the other way (which is what I do)

OSX2X (http://www.opendarwin.org/projects/osx2x/)

Run that on the mac, then use the GUI to do either VNC or X11 to your
Linux box(es) - or Windoz if that's running VNC.

Works very well, although I can only copy/paste OSX->Windoz, not the  
other
way for some reason :(
