While emerging virtual/x11 openmotif failed to compile. I tracked the problem down to missing header files. it seems that it was looking for the header files in /usr/X11R6/include instead of /usr/include. from /usr creating the symlink of ln -s ../usr X11R6 solved the problem allowing openmotif to install and continue on the process of installing virtual/x11.
Reopen w/ openmotif version, actual errors and emerge --info, please.

As I stated in my initial post this is because o the fact that instead of looking in /usr/include it is looking for the files to be in /usr/X11R6/include.
So use some recent version, not the outdated one. 2.2.3-r9 which is current stable compiles just fine.
