AHA!

but the man page for emerge says not to edit /etc/make.profile/make.defaults.
How do I get X out of there? If in fact that's the cause of my problem?

Everything you put in /etc/make.conf should be based on the
make.defaults, or possible things you want enabled.
If X is in make.defaults, add -X to make.conf to disable it. You should
probably add "-X -opengl -gnome -gtk -gtk2 -kde -qt" to /etc/make.conf at
least, that should hopefully fix your issues.

Curious that "X" should be in make.defaults. Does that mean that the devs think that everyone wants X loaded?
