I'm currently doing an "emerge -e system", and it failed at x11-libs/libXt-1.0.1: checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for XT... configure: error: Package requirements (sm x11 xproto kbproto) were not met: No package 'x11' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XT_CFLAGS and XT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. !!!

Hm. For some reason, /usr/lib/pkgconfig/x11.pc was missing. I now rebuilt libX11 and now I've got that file and am able to build libXt. Strange that the file was missing...
For what it's worth this happened to me too. I took the world file from a different system and tried to emerge -auDvN `cat world` which failed exactly as you report. Perhaps there is some unspecified dependency somewhere. Not reopening or anything, just adding the comment that this is not a unique event.
I had a similar error occur. In my case, this ended up being a circular dependency caused by having the USE flag "doc" set. This resulting in libxcb depending on doxygen, which in turn depends on on qt, working it way to depending on all of the X stuff being installed. When I removed the "doc" use flag, I was able to complete the build.
