I thought you could just install the missing bits to enable Gnome support of X, but that doesn't seem to be the case:

If you require Xorg specifically, you can install and use a non-GNOME desktop environment. Xorg itself is not going away, only GNOME’s support for Xorg.

Yeah, it won't be compiled to utilize X so even if you install the bits on a Gnome desktop it won't do much. Any flavor that needs X must add the requirement to their flavor seed as it is being dropped from the common seed that all desktops share.
