I don't think dbus, dmidecode, hal, gamin, consolekit, docbook,
gnome_subr, policykit and so on have anything to do with an
"xorg-minimal". You also did not remove the various build
dependencies. You can clearly have a more minimal Xorg install.

But thank you for this list, now I know at least someone managed to
get modular Xorg without 200 installed ports :)

Cheers,
Olivier
