Yes. :-)

Due to the combination of mbmon and xmbmon into one package,
the "least dangerous interpretation" has been chosen, and
that is the one without X support.

It would probably have made more sense to call the combined
package simply mbmon, with a "make configure" step if you
wanted it with X support - which means that the list of
runtime dependencies would grow. The "x" in "xmobon" package
naming therefore is a bit confusing, as it refers to the
option of X support, not a default X support...
