xorg-x11 is a meta package that provides much more then is needed to run firefox or xfce. Like Daniel says it's possible to use them on a remote X server, so there is no need for a full blown X server installation. The packages depend only on the parts of xorg that are needed to run it. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
