It should be possible... after running "configure", call make with
the following parameters:

make "CC=gcc -g -O2 -DHEADLESS" LIBS="-lm -ldl"

(this is for linux using gcc)

this should build a headless vm that´s only linked against libm and libdl...
but I have only testet this on a system with X11 installed, it may be
that "configure" tests for X, but than you can build on a different system
and copy the vm to your server.
(And, I don´t know if pre2 compiles with -DHEADLESS at all, but the Debian
package (at least up to pre2-3) used to include a non-X headless squeak,
so I can dig up the changes if there are any problems)
