That's not a problem at all. apt is entirely optional It might be a bit
more difficult to work out which packages you need, but I think the
following is a good start:

xfree86-common
xservers-common
xserver-YOURSERVER
xbase-clients
xterm
twm
xfonts-base
xfonts-75dpi
xlib6g

For development:
xlib6g-dev (and xpm4g-dev etc)

Further:
hurd 20000931
rxvt
fvwm

This would be of great help.

Thanks,
