if you want to connect to a vnc session on the ssh server:

ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 user@host_of_ssh_server

then:

vncviewer localhost:1

if you want to connect to another box at the same network of the ssh server:

ssh -L 5901:ip_of_another_box:5901 user@host_of_ssh_serverr

then:

vncviewer localhost:1

got the idea?

hope it helps.
