A few X questions (small X load for small drive needed)

Hi,
I just loaded XFree86-4 from the ports tree on my
laptop, running 5.2.1-RELEASE.
It took about 2.5 gigs of space to compile and add it
all.
Let's say I have a small hard drive in an old laptop,
and let's also assume that I am just loading X to just
have a simple GUI to run opera and terminal windows
on, and don't need a big fancy X server or whatever
...
What are some options I can add to the standard `make
install` command for that port to significantly reduce
the size of X ?
Any general comments on making a smaller/faster/more
efficient X for an old laptop are greatly appreciated.
thanks.
