In case you really must, I found in the man page for Xserver the option :
        -nolisten trans-type
		disables a transport type.  For example, TCP/IP
		connections can be disabled with -nolisten tcp.


The consequences of doing so , and where in the X configuration files 
you might actually put it, I don't yet know... I have been trying to 
find out how to set the option when starting X with xdm/gdm/kdm.

In any case, startx -- -nolisten tcp will do it at commandline and so 
far in Severn it's had no adverse impact for me...
