  There are "minimal" implementations of X designed for embedded systems.  
I believe some will fit in a 32 MB filesystem.  My knowledge stops there.

  Idea: The OP followed up that RAM is "virtually unlimited".  Given that,
use a large RAM disk, compress the filesystem heavily, and store the
compressed image on the flash.  You should be able to obtain quite a gain
that way.
