If you still want Xorg to exist and just not start on boot, then you'll have to stop the display manager from running. I'm not 100% sure how the new upstart system works, you would want to stop GDM from loading (I'm assuming Xbuntu still uses GDM, can anyone confirm?). The config for that is in:
/etc/init/gdm.conf

To answer my own question, it looks like Xbuntu uses xdm rather than gdm. I don't have it installed here to be certain, but I'd expect that the upstart config file would be '/etc/init/xdm.conf' instead.
