Just responding to myself,
I have spent some time working on xfree86-libs and xdirectfb. both now
install
*full* library sets.
My desktop (all of kde, half of gnome) which was rebuilt against xfree86 now
passes a cast --fix if I remove xfree86 and install either xfree86-libs or
xdirectfb. So j2sdk depends will get changed to X11-LIBS only (from
X11-SERVER)
an xfree86-libs install is only ~ 35MB
(if you rm -rf the doc/man dirs it is under 25 MB)
whereas a xfree86,xfree86-devel,xdirectfb install is ~100->150 MB
this should be exactly what you want ...

ps I hope you hadn't spent too much time trying my other suggestion :(
