I used to avoid installing the X sets and I found that even on e.g. a web server without X11 running. I would end up installing them in the end as certain ports would require them. Struggling to remember why I wanted to do it, to be honest. A notion from securing Linux perhaps. As Linux often runs things automatically when they're installed and desktop distros run a lot by default. It is what is in RAM, that is more important, which is very little by default on OpenBSD (~60M). May be worth re-considering if it is worth the effort to save a fairly small amount of space with potentially unexpected consequences?
