Monolithic X won't be around forever ... When I do an emerge -puD world there are a whole slew of packages that are blocked by a non existant package. I have xorg-x11 6.8.2-r8 installed not 6.9 but get the following in front of all the blocked packages. How do I convince the system that it doesn't have this package installed. =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking I have tried emerge --clean x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 and emerge --prune x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 and they both tell me that the package is not there. I have done a revdep-rebuild and an emerge --newuse --update --deep world and nothing has fixed it. You may not realize = means less than or equal to, so your 6.8 installation would qualify. If you want Gentoo to stop asking you to upgrade to the current stable modular X every time you 'emerge world' then you may want to add '=x11-base/xorg-x11-7' to /etc/portage/package.mask.
