This one is a good walkthrough:

Though it uses the same X server

I'm too lazy to write a full manual right now.
In short, there are two ways to solve this:

1) Setup X server in LXC container. This will require a lot of
maintenance (and trouble) during setup and updates.

2) Build xorg with USE="xnest", run it, and provide an access to
required display to skype (via either Unix or TCP socket).

Beware that one wouldn't be able to change window sizes and
positions that way, so one would probably want to run some simple
WM, like twm.

Another note is that skype will still be able to intercept audio
and video input (if configured so, otherwise one wouldn't be able
to use it otherwise as instant messenger), so it should be run only
on per-needed basis (or at least given an access to this devices
on per-needed basis).

Best regards,
Andrew Savchenko
