We can't fix collisions with unknown stuff. As for pciutils, just delete the file and re-emerge.

The files (these are really symlinks) are not owned by the emacs package because they are created in pkg_postinst. For emacs{,-cvs} the problem will be solved by an eselect module. It is already available for testing in the emacs overlay. XEmacs is already using symlinks for the files in /usr/bin (this is bug #62991). However, the ctags.1 and etags.1 man pages are still installed as plain files and should probably be changed to symlinks, too. Please reopen.
Yes, I think we are now able to fix it.
As discussed with Hans de Graaff, I have committed xemacs-21.4.20-r3 which calls the emacs eselect module in its pkg_postinst and pkg_postrm functions. This should address the file collision issues.
