I'm not completely clear what you want to do here.  If you want the NeXTs to
open up windows on the screen of the X-windows machines so that you can run
pretty NeXTStep interface stuff, you can't.  X-windows and NeXTStep are 
incompatible.  All you can do is to run things via terminal emulators.  You
can run Mathematica this way however (the command is `math') though
graphics will probably involve saving the postscript in files and then
ftping it to the machine where you're working for display.  Going the
other way is a little better as there are various packages which will let
you run X-windows applications on a NeXT (see the FAQ if you care).
