Yes, there is a variable that you can set in /etc/make.conf
VIDEO_CARDS="sis"
ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1" ##nice one to set as well
I guess I did something wrong because it still wanted to build all the
card types.
To see a full list of the cards available for the variables run
#emerge --info
From the output you can see which options are available. Once you set
these variables in make.conf portage will not build the other packages.
For example; I have VIDEO_CARDS="nv" so when I build X if does not
compile anything depending with sis or any of the other options
available for the VIDEO_CARDS option.

Do you have SIS hardware?

No SIS hardware that I know of--lspci shows Matrox, but no SIS. Is
there a flag to tell it explicitly which video card(s) I want to
support? I know there must be a manual to read, but I have not been
smart enough to find it.
Have you tried following:

Your questions are all answered there.
I have looked at this now, and will tinker more with it later, but on a
different machine. One that does not have to grind away for several
hours before telling me that it failed. :-) The machine in question is
mostly used as a gateway and a little bit of development, so I am just
removing X from it until I can learn more.
Thanks for trying.
