Are those compressed or uncompressed sizes? For the sake of 100kb
uncompressed, I'm tempted to suggest adding features to the basic x11...

Kind of.

libx11-minimal: RPROVIDES = "virtual/libx11"
libx11-xkb:     RPROVIDES = "virtual/libx11 virtual/libx11-xkb"
libx11-full:    RPROVIDES = "virtual/libx11 virtual/libx11-xkb virtual/libx11-full"
(along with whatever the magic is to say they're equivalent and replace
each other)

Then anything requiring Xaw can RDEPENDS = "virtual/libx11-full" etc.
