The dependencies are only in HVM-specific bits of the tools/ directory.
Those are easily disabled, albeit with a smidgen of Makefile changes.
They also aren't really X11 dependencies. That code includes
<X11/keysymdef.h>, because VNC uses the same keysyms as X, but there's no
dependency upon X client libraries.
This dependency is actually a bug that was introduced in the Xen tree
(it isn't present in qemu CVS).
The VNC spec makes it pretty clear that you cannot rely on the symbolic
names of X keycodes to develop a portable VNC client. Apparently they
change slightly across different X implementations.
When I wrote the original VNC code for QEMU, I was careful not to rely
on include files because of this. We should really remove this
dependency and hard code the keycodes ourself.
