Yes, and though this answer is late, I decided to post it anyway, since
none of the posted answers appeared to fully address the question.

There are parts of the gui that start whenever the RaQ is started. 
Since the Raq normally runs at runlevel 3, you can look through and
add/remove/change the files at "/etc/rc.d/rc3.d".  That will keep any
special RaQ sauces from running at startup.

Then you can remove from the cron.hourly, cron.quarter-hourly,
cron.daily, cron.monthly, cron.weekly, cron.half-hourly and
cron.quarter-daily directories, any files that run gui-specific
functions.

Then for sites already on the RaQ, comment out the "Rewrite" lines in
the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file.

Then restart your RaQ.

You could remove files, directories, etc., but that's not strictly
necessary to stop the gui from running.

This is a much better question for the cobalt-developers list, btw.
