You don't need to have X installed on your backend. I don't on mine. What
you need is an X server on your PC such as Xmanager from NetSarang
(www.xmanager.com for 30 day free trial) and combine is with SSH with X
forwarding.
When you configure xstart to connect to the MBE choose ssh and an execution
command of "/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -ls -display $DISPLAY". You will then get
a little xterm terminal window and in that you can run mythtv-setup. It
takes a while to load over wifi network but it works fine.

the answer.
Is there a way to setup a backend slave server without having X
installed?
It wouldn't be fun, and I haven't tried it, but you ought to be able
to edit the database directly and enter the correct values in
~/.mythtv/mysql.txt
