Not necessarily. Quoting Igor Pechtchanski: "Cygwin rxvt can run 
without X using the W11 library it comes with." - and I think this is 
how most people use it under Cygwin.

Richard H. Broberg was quite confused: rxvt is a terminal runnig a 
shell like bash running applications.

       Windows
          | cygwin1.dll
     Console/rxvt
          |
  bash/zsh/tcsh/pdksh
          |
Midnight Commander/vim
