It wouldn't solve the problem at hand. 

Without any flag at all, the user needs to 'emerge xorg-x11' manually to get 
eg KDE to run locally. With an off-by-default flag, he needs to set it on 
manually, _before_ installing KDE, to get an xorg-x11 server. As long as he 
needs to do something manually, explicitly, it should just be an 'emerge 
xorg-x11', which after all is a very simple operation.
