First, it is NOT pkg assuming anything. Package repository has packages built from ports with their *default* options and pkg merely uses them. Second, support of X headers/formats/libraries does not assume "desktop" FreeBSD and does not install any graphical environment but generally only some small headers or libs, not even libX11 not to mention heavy window managers or desktop environment.
