You can tunnel X trough ssh if you need to, but if you never use X for managing the servers just deinstall. Use # pkg_delete -x xorg- to deinstall, by default it will not deinstall if there are dependencies. There is one package you may need even if you don't run any X apps: xorg-libraries. I need it to do image manipulation on the command line with ImageMagick. I think you can set WITHOUT_X11=YES in your make.conf so apps won't be built with X in the future.
