If you have X, you likely have at least TWM.  It's not great, it's not 
pretty, but it's not like you need a full desktop environment just to 
run X.  Or as Robert mentioned, you can just do 'ssh -X' from a machine 
with a full desktop environment.

As far as running multiple independent backends, you can use some sed 
scripts to change the config files at runtime, but a better option would 
be to set the 'MYTHCONFDIR' environment variable.  That will change from 
the default (~/.mythtv) to wherever you want.  Also note that mythtv now 
uses the 'config.xml' file for database access.  'mysql.txt' is only 
maintained for backwards compatibility with scripts, and is only used if 
'config.xml' does not exist.
