Just to be sure: I should enable the -suid USE flag in
x11-base/xorg-server?
Just for the record, I rebuilt x11-base/xorg-server with +suid, and the
problem persists:

$ startx -- vt7
Fatal server error:
(EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 7 (Permission denied)
From one of your earlier posts, it looks like tty0-tty9 all exist. My guess is that getty was launched on all of them.  Since that is owned by root (until someone logs in) you certainly don't have permission to use it for X.  I'm not sure where the list of vts on which to spawn getty is controlled, but that's what I'd look for.
