I run PostgreSQL on several computers. The X stuff is there for the X client and the tk stuff is there for the tk support. I think. It's been a while (couple of months, anyway) since I installed pgsql from .deb files, so I don't really recall, but I think that the .deb files installs everything, including the kitchen sink. You don't have a limited "no-X" version. I've run (and continue to run, my main database server has no X on it) PostgreSQL on computers without X, but I installed it from the tarballs from postgresql.org.
