You can't install X without also installing xdm...it comes in xbase...but you are by no means forced to use it. Startx for instance is also provided and is a perfectly good way to start X. During the installation you will be asked if you want to boot with xdm and in a second question you will be asked if xdm should be used to start the xserver. If you answer no to both of these questions you will NOT be forced to use xdm.
If this doesn't fix things for you, please feel free to ask more pointed questions.
