Is it normal to have been able to compile kdebase and all deps and
never hit an xorg dependancy?

You don't need xorg-server to install KDE, although you may need some
libraries, because you could be running the apps over a network.

Gravity isn't easy, but it's the law.

Yes.

KDE and all it's apps are X-clients and so do not depend on an X 
server - the server can quite easily be on another machine.

They will depend on the X client libs though, as well as freetype, 
fontconfig, opengl and the various X extensions like libXrender, 
libXfixes etc
