I would think that if you removed all packages with "xorg" in the name 
would do it. In particular I have the packages xorg, xserver-xorg and 
xserver-xorg-core. There are more but I think those 3 would do it.

Of course I've never tried it so maybe you should check to make sure apt 
got everything. There's so many packages I don't imagine it would be a 
lot of fun though. :)

good luck,
