qemu-dm is de device emulator. If you're going to use HVM guests you need it
(what would you do with a guest without any device ?). It needs X to
display the emulated VGA console (it can be display as a X windows, or via
a VNC client).
You don't need to run a X server on your dom0, you can forward the X connection
somewhere else via e.g. ssh
