Yes, this have being already discussed, and having a package that depends on X
stuffs and not including those depends by default(in currente boinc-client) is
the best approach.

However this will only work for nvidia users IIRC,  for ATI users the package will 
need to do some other stuffs, for example they have problems if boinc is not being 
run under the same user as X, and running boinc as root is not a sane solution.
