MI/X
Current Version: 21 October 1998
This is almost too good to be true--a free X Window server for Power Macs. It's got all the requisite features - host allow/deny, background configurability, etc. - and comes with twm, although you can use any other window manager.
User Reviews
"Although it was not as easy to configure as come commercial X server software, I was connecting to our UNIX server relatively effortlessly. It's a great tool to have in our computer lab to connect to the workstation for one of our research projects."
—Jiro Fujita
"This is an amazing piece of software - especially considering the price. MI/X performs well on my 7200/90 and is very much easier to set up and use than MacX or its reincarnation, Xoftware. I noted a few minor bugs with screen redrawing when using the backing store but on first impression this seems to be a useful and usable X-server."
—David Robertson, Programmer, Department of Computer Science, University of Otago
"Works very well, even on older Macs. Used within a primary school to control a Linux gateway from a number of PowerMacs ranging from PM6250 to Rev B iMacs. Currently using it on a 9.2 iBook2 to interact with my x86 Linux server at home."

Also, if you have an older Mac, be sure to check out the "Classic" applications page for more options.
Finally, take a look at ALEMIA if you think you know that name of an application, but aren't quite sure.

No, I don't accept reviews anymore for these older applications. With the creation of this page in the Orchard's late 2005 redesign, I only accept reviews for currently-developed applications that work on Mac OS X (or later....whatever that might be!!).
