Probably not. Perhaps you installed a package that required them.

There is a port, pkg_tree which you can install and see all dependencies.
There are other ways, but I find pkg_tree to be easy to use/visualize.

There are many :-(
You can also
cd /var/db/pkb/<pkg_name>
cat +REQUIRED_BY
That will show you which packages depend on a particular port..
To find which ports depend on xorg you could try
cd /var/db/pkg
find . -name "+REQUIRED_BY" -exec grep -li xorg {} \;
Hope that helps.
