I'm not sure about the games, but avoiding installing X is quite simple! This is what I use on my gentoo server: USE="-gpm ipv6 imap gd gd-external jpeg png -svga -X -gnome -kde -qt -gtk -gtk2 xml xml2 apache2 tiff mysql offensive -samba"
I think there is a way to choose what categories you want to sync in gentoo (or was that freebsd?)... Good luck!
