This is because of the change to modular X.  xorg-x11 is now just a
meta-package that brings in all of the xorg packages.  Other packages
in the tree are *not* supposed to depend on xorg-x11, but only on
those specific packages that they really require to run.

If you want an X server locally, you need to also merge xorg-server.
