While yes, you could install it.

ssh -x user at phone
ssh -X user at yourdesk
xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 480 x 480, current 800 x 480, maximum 800 x 800
LCD connected 800x480+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm 
x 0mm
    800x480        57.2*+

xrandr is run on the desktop, with X forwarded to the X server on the phone.

You can also if you're feeling silly run any X app like this, from 
xlander to firefox.
X performance blows if you don't turn off powersave though.
