I indeed run Firefox using the above method from my servers (which aren't running X) but X is still installed.

It *should* be able to work in theory (I use xdialog from ports on machines that don't have X installed; only xdialog and xauth).

pkg_delete -x xorg

Maybe Firefox will still run (communicating with the X server running on the local side of your ssh client), or maybe it will balk incessantly about something.

I do know however, that you'll need xauth installed regardless.
