Look at the KGI (Kernel Graphics Interface) project 
http://kgi-wip.sourceforge.net/ Although they aren't looking to make X 
the standard interface it's something around what you're thinking about.

However, there is a very good reason WHY the standard interface is still 
the console, the fact that most UNIX computers are probably still being 
used for servers rather than workstations. Adding a GUI to a server is a 
pointless consumption of resources in most cases.
