When I try to make "emerge fte", I get an error that some X11-files are missing e.g. con_x11.cpp:34: X11/Xatom.h: No such file or directory .. Ebuild brings an error. Maybe you should split fte (like in debian) in fte-console, and fte-xterm
I have not looked at it closely enough yet, but likely that this can depend on the X use flag, so with use X, you get the xterm and console versions, and without that flag set you only get the console version. I do not know for sure just yet, but I will investigate.
Actually, looking at the ebuild it already does what I suggested. So, one must ask -- do you have the Xatom.h file on your system? And if so, where?

How odd that x11 wasn't listed as an optional dependency. Ah well that has been fixed. Thanks for the catch and the fix, folks :) Sorry for the inconvenience.
