for Mesa you will have to opt out xcb dependency from dri2 egl driver 
(egl_dri2), which should be straightforward to patch it. The protocol 
implementation is not using X at all, and the demo compositor (well, you 
shouldn't use it) seems to be a bit tied with X also even if you use 
only drm backend.

Another bloated dependency in the compositor is gdk-pixbuf, in which I 
had a patch to remove it:
