Most all X-dependent packages do not declare a dependency (or Recommends, Suggests, etc.) on an X server. The Suggests we put in was deliberately part of the meta-package, since its sole function is to remind people installing a new Debian system, and who are installing kde, to also install X. To move the Suggests to kdebase would therefore be exceedingly unusual, as would strengthening it to a Recommends, since that might imply that only xfree86 worked well with KDE, which is not the case.
