At the very least,
xserver-common
xserver-xfree86
xlibs
xbase-clients
xutils
and you'll certainly want to get the font packages too.
What you need to do to install these is install them at the same time.
Eg :
dpkg -i xserver-common_blah_blah.deb xserver-xfree86_blah_blah.deb
If you try and do it one at a time you'll get those errors you were
describing above.
