Opera certainly does require X. Check the Opera site at http://www.opera.com. Also note that Opera for Linux is still, basically, an alpha release, although they call it something the Opera people admit that. They specifically say that it is not currently able to reliably handle local files. This is rough software with quite a way to go before it reaches Prime Time. I have not used the Linux version, although I did use the Windows version for a while. I was not really impressed with the Windows version, but I will try the Linux version when it is ready. I would love to be able to uninstall Netscape, libc5 and everything else that is taking up space on my HD that is only there to support Netscape.
