X doesn't do clipboards, drivers, or fonts. Network transparency does not affect the code size. And the source tree is approximately 25 to 30 megabytes. It contains 7 different X servers (Xdmx, Xvfb, Xnest, Xquartz, Xwin, Kdrive and Xorg). The server you're talking about contains 6 megabytes of machine dependent code.
In fact, all the infrastructure that Wayland depends on is the infrastructure that X uses.
