what is mesa?

That shouldn't matter for most X applications - what goes over the network are sort of "API calls" - a generic interface to any X server. In fact, your Mac should inform the remote system what your X server's abilities are when you connect.

The only place I can see that this would be a problem is if you're trying to run an application on the remote box that uses Mesa (Mesa is a linux library for 3d graphics, BTW).
