Mike, do you know what video driver your system is trying to use? I've found that some video drivers with certain video cards (usually integraded GPUs) won't allow you to start X if a monitor isn't connected. On a slightly related note, something similar happens if you attempt to use a Macintosh Mini without a monitor connected, the system goes crazy. I believe the video card itself sends an error if a monitor isn't connected, essentially they have an open circuit that is completed when a monitor is plugged in. I've seen this on Intel GPUs for the most part, but it's probably not limited specifically to them.
