I had one package (not XFree) with similarly bizarre error message:
permission denied. This message went away after I did a deep update of
world. So I suggest you try
emerge -uD system
Or if it doesn't solve the situation
emerge -uD world
It's likely that the XFree 4.3.0 ebuild uses some Portage feature which
is not available, or which works differently, in your version of
Portage.
