What some of the users would like is to foward back the x display of an interactive job.  Is there a way to forward this outside of the cluster and back to the users computer at home with Torque?

I do this all the time.   You need an X Server running on your local
machine,  then you tunnel X through ssh (ssh -X from the command line,
 there is an option somewhere in putty to do the same I think).  Then
when I submit a  job with X forwarding it gets displayed on my local
computer.
