Sure. But imagine the following (well, if you can't imagine, have a look at
dev-lang/R):

- The package can be built with or without X11 support
- if it was built with X11 support, it needs a working $DISPLAY during the
"test" phase.

If you want to have a working "make test" for the package built with X11
support, you need to use virtualx.
If you build the package without X11 support, you currently get virtual/x11
nevertheless, since the ebuild inherits from virtualx.eclass which has a
hard-coded DEPEND on it.

Do you see a different solution?
