I forward all my non-work addresses to a single mailbox, and use fetchmail
over ssh to pull it to my workstation at home. If I'm at home, I use
exmh to read it; if I'm somewhere else, I ssh in and use pine.

Under MacOSX I have fink installed, and under Windows I have cygwin 
installed.
Both of these provide the gnu development environment, including X servers
based on XFree 4.1.x.
