If you want to install ffmpeg (or many other packages) then yes, you do, you need some of the libraries which are in the X sets in OpenBSD. You can skip xserv if you want, but you need at least xbase and probably xfont. Generally it's recommended to install all sets though. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
