USE/FEATURES/etc. for minimal X support in apps?

Hi,

what exactly do I have to do to keep the number of needed
packages as
minimal as possible to provide X-libs to some applications -
but this
machine is headless.. so there will not ever be a x11-server
running..

I.e. I want:
 - x-forwarding to work in installed ssh[d] (which needs but
not limited
to xlibs and some applications like /usr/bin/xauth)
 - the ability to use xlibs from e.g. Tomcat
("-Dheadless=true" setting on
startup)

But emerging "x11-base/xorg-server" or even
"x11-base/xorg-x11" or
"virtual/x11" seems to be far too much to pull...

Any hints how to manage that?

Christian
