There are 37 of them accordingly to spyderous's list. I basically just grepped for the sci in 2nd field. The list is at the end of message. This is technically a feature request, but my understanding is that these packages are blocking modular xorg from unmasking, so marking this with a severity of normal..

In the most technical sense, they aren't blocking it. They'll just all break when I do unmask it unless they're ported. I won't be waiting for every app in the tree to get ported beforehand; it's going to be a long asymptote, and it will help discover which apps people actually care about.
Since I didn't follow the progress of modular X closely I am a bit lost now... any link to some documentation how to find out which parts of modular X are needed by a given application? Or emerge modular X and ldd happily around, then check to which parts of X the dependencies belong?

Or emerge modular X and ldd happily around, then > check to which parts of X the dependencies belong? http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml is the users' guide. You'll need to either install modular X yourself (in a chroot, if you can't risk your main filesystem) or find someone with it installed to run the necessary commands. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/porting-modular-x-howto.xml is the developers' guide. What won't the included scripts catch? Binaries/scripts run during the build process, e.g. gccmakedep, imake, xmkmf.
(In reply to comment #4) [hints to porting guides] Thanks!

Remaining: sci-geosciences/grass sci nerdboy sci-libs/plplot sci cryos
Only package still not ported to modular X: sci-libs/plplot sci cryos
sci-libs/plplot is now ported. The DEPEND tree is very messy, so I didn't port the older version - which should probably just be punted from the tree anyway. Closing this bug since that was the last package to fix.
