Patrick, I don't think I see the light here. What's the use of virtualx.eclass without X support? It basically uses xhost and Xvfb to create another DISPLAY, so I don't think it even runs without virtual/x11 installed.
And since you're talking about virtualx dependency... Last week I had a problem with virtualx eclass because it uses Xvfb which isn't installed if xorg-x11 is built with USE="minimal". If there's no other alternative, I think virtualx should "built_with_use xorg-x11 minimal" and fail nicely if this happen. Also, there should be a warning somewhere, so developers can know that virtualx only works on full xorg-x11.
