Probably not.  After all, how _is_ KDE going to run without X...  What you need
is to rename your xkbcomp file and install xbase-clients, then figure out what's
different between the old and new xbkcomp and whether you _really_ need what's
in the old one.

btw, this isn't a debian-laptop question - maybe debian-kde if you _really_
think it shouldn't be requiring xbase-clients, otherwise debian-users.
