You can install Ubuntu Server. There is no X-Server by default.

1The X-Server is the base of a gui in linux. No X-Server -> No GUI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server – herrhansen Jun 20 '13 at 07:39

With the Desktop CD: No. As it seems to me, you have to do the normal desktop install and then remove the unneeded unity/gnome stuff.
