You can use the '-nolisten tcp' option suppress listening on tcp 
completely in your
case.
If you're using xdm, you can add the option to /etc/X11/xdm/Xserver. If 
you're using
startx to start the server, you can use 'startx -- -nolisten tcp' or 
create a ~/.xserverrc
file to specify the option. See the Xserver(1) and xinit(1) manual 
pages for more details.
