Can I install X applications on Ubuntu Server to run on a remote display?

[Chris G]

I have Ubuntu Server 9.10 (late release candidate, will update soon)
installed on an Acer Aspire Revo.  If I install some X applications
will it try and install display drivers and such?  I don't want to run
a local display on the Revo but it would be convenient to do some
configuration with a GUI from my main desktop machine if I can.
