It's basically up to your distro. You simply don't install X and
install mythtv - this should work.
With gentoo you'd do it the following way:
set up "USE" in /etc/make.conf to contain "-X" (to prevent most of the
programs from compiling with X support), and then just emerge mythtv
:-)

It can be different with your distro, so you should at least tell us
what you use.
