Normally [gkx]dm is started via an init-job in runlevel 5, so you have
either the option to disable [gkx]dm in runlevel 5 or just disable
runlevel 5. I would recommend the latter, because runlevel 5 (AFAIK)
only adds X startup.

To do so you need to edit the file /etc/inittab. You should find a line
which reads like this:
id:5:initdefault:
just change it to 
id:3:initdefault:

This should work AFAIK, but I must admit that I have never tested it,
just know it from theory ;-)

Rgds,
