Since you don't need the server portions, I don't really see a reason 
why you would want to worry about installing any X.org ports by hand.

Just installing the applications you want to use should automatically
pull in the X.org dependencies that are actually required by these
applications. This will prevent any unnecessary parts, like server 
components and video drivers, from being installed on your system
in the first place.
