 I'm usually doing: emerge -p -v links before the actual install. It
will tell you what exactly will be installed and the flags (like X,
jpeg etc.). In your case maybe adding USE="-X" to your /etc/make.conf
will help. On my system:

--- [ /etc/make.conf ]---
USE="-X -kde -gnome -gtk -qt -arts -motif -nls -opengl -xv -jpeg -png
-tiff -ldap -cups -java"

# emerge -p -v links

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
