"negotiation" is not a recognised USE flag: # euse -i negotiation global use flags (searching: negotiation) ************************************************************ no matching entries found local use flags (searching: negotiation) ************************************************************ no matching entries found therefore I am not sure that any packages in portage use it. (Apache uses the module mod_negotiation which is compiled in by default). Have you looked at www-servers/lighttpd, or www-servers/thttpd? > 2. Can you please tell me how do you usually find out if some > of the packages in portage can do content negotiation? Sorry, can't help with this. Perhaps others more knowledgeable in the features of different http servers can advise here. I would think that it is a matter of searching in their respective project websites and then reading their documentation for each package under /usr/portage/www-servers/. Alternative, emerge, try it out, unmerge and so on. BTW, I am not sure if some PHP scripting would offer this facility to simpler http servers, which do not support it natively like apache.
