I'm currently doing an "emerge -Duv gnome kde-meta" on an otherwise new system. It failed when x11-apps/sessreg was going to be installed: 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 SESSREG_CFLAGS and SESSREG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. I don't have libX11 *YET* installed on the system. According to "emerge -Duvp gnome kde-meta", it'll be installed later on. The non-fix would be to manually install libX11, but shouldn't the dependencies cause libX11 to be installed at the right time?

I'll add the dependency for now, but as far as I can tell, it's not needed for the actual build. I'm going to file a bug upstream. Thanks for letting us know.
