Yes, but technically speaking, all X11 client libraries and programs
should *not* depend on the X.org server, but rather on the needed X11
libraries. For several reasons:
*) Because technically, the clients don't require the server to
already be built ;
*) Because if one day, we manage to enable parallel building of
packages, it is great to have correct dependencies ;
*) Because you can imagine a setup in which you build several X11
client libraries and programs, but not the X server, and the
X applications display their windows to a remote X server, which is
not built by Buildroot.
