BuildClients is basically everything you get in /usr/bin that doesn't start with a capital X. If you looked at the source, it would be everything in xc/programs/ except for Xserver/.
Actually if you had looked into this a little more, you'd discover that xauth _is_ in fact built when USE=minimal. Take a look at 1110_all_6.8.0-force-build-font-utils-if-needed.patch. What it does is builds the absolute minimal set of utilities to build, install and run a minimal X.
In general, this is intended for cases of restricted size such that KDE wouldn't fit on the same medium, so your scenario isn't the intended use case.
It's a ton of stuff, and it would easily double the size of the minimal install. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
