According to the Linux XDMCP howto, it isn't possible to forward XDMCP 
over SSH because XDMCP uses UDP.

You could ssh to the remote system with X forwarding and start the 
session manually. The X server would be started without any clients or 
window manager; you might have to adjust authorization to allow the 
remote machine to connect.
