If you just install the X headers (the xlib-dev package, I guess) then that
would do: you don't have to have (or use) a working X11.
This stuff is for building the various virtual framebuffer devices (which, I
guess, you still might want to access over SSH even if you're not running it
on a local X server).
Alternatively, it might be possible to disable building the paravirt
framebuffer and the HVM device models (but then you won't be able to use HVM)
which (IIRC) are the things which use the X headers.
I'd say the path of least resistance is to just install X headers and then
either use X-over-SSH forwarding, or use VNC to access guest framebuffers.
This way it'll build smoothly but you don't have to configure a local X11.
Cheers,
Mark
