Debian has an X metapackage called 'xorg'
'apt-cache show xorg' will show all the dependencies for xorg. 
'apt-get install xorg' will install it.
But you may want to investigate some non-X framebuffer apps like fbxine.
It will display movies like xine but without X using a framebuffer.
There are other fb programs.
