I prefer to install Jenkins on Unix machines from the package manager for the specific operating system so that the package manager will simplify upgrade and general package management. When I've done that on Debian, CentOS, and Red Hat, it has not required a GUI environment.
When my Jenkins jobs need an X server, I install the operating system X windows system, including a VNC server, then use the Xvnc plugin to allow Jenkins to start and stop X servers as needed for the jobs. I've never had conflicts whether I run an X server on the Linux machines or not. Windows machines have been a different story. I generally prefer to run Windows slaves from a command window so that the Jenkins process has direct access to a desktop environment.
