I have setup many "headless" servers with a few X-apps, as long as the application's dependancies
are met they should work. I always put Nedit on my servers, it also requires "motif" libraries. If you
want to know what a program requires to run do somting like this :
$ rpm -q --requires nedit openmotif /usr/bin/desktop-file-install rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 libc.so.6 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3) libICE.so.6 libm.so.6 libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) libSM.so.6 libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6 libXm.so.3 libXmu.so.6 libXpm.so.4 libXp.so.6 libXt.so.6
$ rpm -q --provides openmotif libMrm.so.3 libUil.so.3 libXm.so.3 openmotif = 2.2.2-12
$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/desktop-file-install desktop-file-utils-0.3-3
$ rpm -q --provides desktop-file-utils-0.3-3 desktop-file-utils = 0.3-3
...and so on...
So in total, nedit requires :
rpm :-)
openmotif desktop-file-utils glibc XFree86-libs
I hope this helps, using these methods you should be able to pair down your RPM based system.

So if I'm not going to run a desktop on a server, just want to forward X to my remote desktop, all I need is XFree86-libs (and dependencies)? Cool!

need it to work over ssh.Then just install the XFree86-libs (and it's deps). Thats all you'll need to be able to export X apps from the server out to clients.
