Sounds like virtual/x11 is installed.
tfoerste@n22 ~ $ equery -C list -i x11 [ Searching for package 'x11' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] virtual/x11-7.0-r2 (0) [I--] [ ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 (0) I upgraded from x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8 to x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 vie "emerge -auD world"
So because of RDEPEND="$RDEPEND || ( ( x11-apps/xmessage x11-apps/xsetroot x11-apps/xset x11-apps/xrandr x11-apps/mkfontdir ) <virtual/x11-7 ) $(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kdesktop) $(deprange 3.5.0 $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kcminit) $(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/ksmserver) $(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kwin) $(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kpersonalizer) $(deprange 3.5.0 $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kreadconfig) $(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/ksplashml)" and <virtual/x11-7 does not hold. emerge -k supposely should emerge x11-apps/xmessage x11-apps/xsetroot x11-apps/xset x11-apps/xrandr x11-apps/mkfontdir, but it didn't on my computer. Am I missing something?

Maybe there was an issue with this particular Portage version. The dependencies get installed fine here. When this is still issue for you, reopen please.
