The thing to do is to install wireshark on the system without X.
Then from a machine with X: ssh -Xf user@macine.without.x wireshark
Yours is the coolest answer, though the others were also helpful.
It's cool, but you have to contend with the traffic generated by the ssh and X session overhead in your display and/or captured data, or exclude the IP address of the X server from display. This may or may not be an issue for you.
