Probably not. Perhaps you installed a package that required them.

There is a port, pkg_tree which you can install and see all dependencies. 
There are other ways, but I find pkg_tree to be easy to use/visualize.

There are many :-(

You can also
cd /var/db/pkb/<pkg_name>
cat +REQUIRED_BY

That will show you which packages depend on a particular port..

To find which ports depend on xorg you could try
cd /var/db/pkg
find . -name "+REQUIRED_BY" -exec grep -li xorg {} \;

Hope that helps.
