For more info check: x-modular.eclass & xorg-server/xorg-x11 ebuilds. IMHO this could be done using EXTRA_ECONF"--suffix=/usr/X11" emerge ... -a (check the syntax here). But using this only for one/two packages probably will break compatibility with the other xorg sub-packages (unless quite a number of additional links/hacks are made). Search/check for older xorg/XFree versions, there *was* such layout. But i won't recommend trying this to anyone. HTH.Rumen
