In theory, you should be able to use matlab -nodesktop -nosplash for that purpose,
I think. You might have to have JVM installed on the server.

In practice, we ssh -X in to a FedoraCore3 server and run matlab R2007a over X11
without difficulty, with or without desktop. However, for our Ubuntu server
with R2008a, using -nodesktop or -nodisplay does not allow Matlab to start up;
using it with the full desktop works okay in ssh -X mode though. I have a case
open about the R2008a requiring a display to run; Mathworks told me this morning
that they haven't seen that on any other machines.
