Yep, after I decided I wasn't going to continue with that X experiment, I put the -X (and -KDE and -GNOME) into my USE flags, and did the env-update. But even now, when I do a pretend emerge, I'm seeing stuff that I don't think should be a dependancy (go figure - I just did "emerge world -p" so I can grab a sample for you, and they all have gone away).
My server HAS been a bit of a test bed for me, but I need it to be a stable box now. So I feel that by starting from a clean slate, I will be sure that none of my experiments come back to haunt me in the future...

That should recompile your stuff minus X-necessities. It'll also safely remove the packages that have X stuff in them. Keep your distfiles dir clean and [I think] all X remains will dissappear [perhaps over time, as your packages get updated].
