Why are you doing this? If ssh isn't setting the DISPLAY variable to something like localhost:10.0 then sshd isn't configured to tunnel X, you're missing libraries, or something else.
The whole point of "-X" is that it tells ssh to tunnel X traffic back to your machine.
So all you should need to do is ssh -X user@host -p 49283 xclock
Or ssh -Y user@host -p 49283 xclock
