You probably realize this, but... A well-known port doesn't work for
this, because you need one plumber per display session. So the SSH
forwarding needs to use the right plumber on this end and establish a
corresponding session on the other end.
The obvious model for this is SSH agent forwarding. You'd have a
PLUMBER_SOCK variable containing the path to a unix socket, and ssh
would create a unix socket on the other end, forward it there, and set a
new PLUMBER_SOCK variable. The obstacle is, the SSH developers haven't
shown any interest in making the SSH agent forward mechanism availble to
others. See for example
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294148
If you don't do this, you'll have plumbers stepping on each other, or
you'll have to manage ports manually.
