Now try:
emerge -pDv xorg-x11
and see if it will put everything back and correct it (If you want X).

It had been a while since I messed with X11 (mine works and I haven't had to 
mess with it). So I googled and got that from the gentoo forums, other people 
were having the same problem.

Sorry I can't be of more help, I am in the process of quitting job/moving... 
and short on time.
