Most DSSI synths should work fine in jack-dssi-host without a GUI too.
If you run 'jack-dssi-host -n whysynth.so' (for example), it will load
the WhySynth plugin and create an ALSA-seq input port and JACK output
ports and connect them to the alsa_pcm playback ports, and you will be
able to connect your keyboard or sequencer to the ALSA-seq port and use
it to change programs and controllers.

indeed. For example, I recently wanted to have a
poke at synths: there
is a staggering number of synths available for Linux (modular synths,
emulators, you name it), but finding one that doesn't require a GUI is
quite a challenge.
Depends on your definition of "synth" I guess.
For one thing, there are a staggering number of csound patches on the net.
The problem is that few of them are plug-and-play in the way
that a hardware synth is. E.g. if a csound orc isn't designed to be
driven via midi, you have to hack that in yourself.
