Why is it that these various packages haven't switched their
dependecies back to the 6.8.2-r6 virtual for x11-xorg? Why are they
looking for dependencies from the 7.0 tree, still? Is it because I
still have some rogue 7.0 packages installed on this computer?

Probably, yes.  For example, the ghostscript dependancy is:

       X? ( || ( (
                       x11-libs/libX11
                       x11-libs/libXt )
               virtual/x11 ) )

So if you had libXt still installed, portage might decide that it also
wanted libX11, and result in the masked problem you see.

Probably the easiest way to fix this is get a list of all the ~x86 x11
packages you have installed, and remove them.  Something like this
should do the trick:

# cd /var/db/pkg
# for x in `grep -l \~x86 x11-*/*/KEYWORDS` ; do
   echo =`dirname $x`
done | xargs emerge --unmerge -pv

HTH,

And of
course, the mega-money question, how do I fix the problem? What other
information do you need to aid in diagnosing the problem?

Thanks in advance for all of your help!
