The original X-Men was not a tent pole movie and only had a moderate budget. They spent all their "star money" on Professor X and Magneto.
And Ian McKellan wasn't THAT well known by American audiences when he was cast. He had appeared in Richard III as well as Gods and Monsters, but aside from those two films I don't think anyone truly knew who he was here in the States when X-Men was released. Obviously X-Men helped introduce us to him before The Lord of the Rings premiered the very next year.
