It has been discussed more than on time here, search the archives, they can give you a wider answer that I can do

And what's virtual/x11??



virtuals is the way gentoo use to ask/provide a functionality that more packages can give.
There are more version of X, kernel, cron and other, but you need to install only one of them so installing xorg will satisfy virtual/x11.
