Best way to uninstall X

I used to have remote access through VPN-VNC using IceWM to this machine,
but I no longer require this.
This machine has Apache, MySQL, PostFix, Samba. And now (port-)upgrading it
has become a PITA.
It's currently running 7.4-REL and I'm planning to upgrade it to 8.2-REL and
portupgrade is holding me. That's why I want to get rid of all those ports I
no longer use.

Thanks
