It seems that the ebuild requires AGP while the driver also supports PCI-express cards.... So I get warnings that aren't accurate and I don't know if everything is being built.

I'll change the phrasing soon
Just wanted to add that I am also using the new ati-drivers-8.16.20-r1 driver with a PCI-Express laptop card (X700) and it works far better than the previous driver did. This is on amd64 - it would be nice to get this into ~amd64 soon as it seems to work well for the majority of users.
sadly the .20 works JUST on igp based systems. Standard daughterboard got the modeline logic messed up
fixed
