--- Comment #1 from Alonso Schaich <alonso at freebsd.org> ---
Hi

Indeed, an installation that is used to graphically output KDE applications
needs an x11-server, however, this installation can be a different one from the
one which has KDE installed. If this is the case, the installation with KDE
does not require an x11-server. Therefore you won't require x11 on the KDE
providing system, if you're going to run KDE applications via "ssh -Y" from an
different installation that has x11.

I think rather than adding a dependency on xorg, the message being displayed
after the installation of x11/kde4-workspace should hint you about the
requirement of x11 on the system that is used for graphical output (which is
likely the same one for most people).

The same can probably also be said about xfce, gnome, and the other WMs.
