I am trying to get a apache server working with php but when I try to "emerge apache php mod_php" portage tries to install X. My USE flags are set to "-X" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -p apache php mod_php Actual Results: drizzt root # emerge -p apache php mod_php These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Check your use flags. You have USE="qt", and that ebuild supports the qt flag, pulling in qt, and virtual/x11.
Elaborating a bit, -X on pretty much every ebuild doesn't mean "disable X entirely", it means disable the x11 specific support. If you have other use flags set that enable x11 widget sets, the package ends up building w/ support for that widget, but w/out x11 only support. Sounds funky I know, but look at the mplayer ebuilds for an example- it supports --enable-x11, *and* --enable-gui (gtk frontend). --enable-gui overrides --disable-x11 from a configure standpoint, and adding the gtk deps ends up pulling in x11 support. If you're after having x11 completely blocked, look in the portage man page and use a mask on virtual/x11, package.mask. If you're trying to setup the system w/out X, I'd suggest disabling your qt flag- qt/gtk/gtk2/gnome support *always* will pull in an xserver.
