I think the reason is why at example xdvi make no sense without X but on the other side for you having X on the server make no sense. Comment: I have X on my server too instead it runs 99,99% of the time on runvlevel 3.-) There is a thread (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=35991) on the home page where the maintainer can recognize such wishes better.

A short workaround could be possible if you take the PKGBUILD from abs and make you own package with having only one line for building it: pkgname=xorg-server ... build() { /bin/true } ... But this is not tested by mine and if you be not in hurry ask on the thread from above if it is possible. See you, Attila
