xorg stuff needed on web server?

I noticed that there is a bunch of xorg installed on my web server for some
reason:

# pkg_info
...
xorg-clients-6.8.2  X client programs and related files from X.Org
xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.8.2 X.Org 100dpi bitmap fonts
xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.8.2 X.Org 75dpi bitmap fonts
xorg-fonts-cyrillic-6.8.2 X.Org Cyrillic bitmap fonts
xorg-fonts-encodings-6.8.2 X.Org font encoding files
xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-6.8.2 X.Org miscellaneous bitmap fonts
xorg-fonts-truetype-6.8.2 X.Org TrueType fonts
xorg-fonts-type1-6.8.2 X.Org Type1 fonts
xorg-fontserver-6.8.2 X font server from X.Org
xorg-libraries-6.8.2 X11 libraries and headers from X.Org
xorg-manpages-6.8.2 X.Org library manual pages
xorg-nestserver-6.8.2 Nesting X server from X.Org
xorg-printserver-6.8.2 X Print server from X.Org
xorg-server-6.8.2   X.Org X server and related programs
xorg-vfbserver-6.8.2 X virtual framebuffer server from X.Org


I was just wondering, do I really need all that xorg stuff for a simple web
server, or is it safe to run a pkg_delete on these items without breaking
any other packages? I've heard someplace that certain packages do not work
unless xorg is available, so does anyone know which ones these might be?

Thanks a lot in advance.
