Hey!
Yes, its hard to believe, but Im sadly still on XFree.
Can someone tell me in simple terms how to convert?

It's fairly simply really. You should just need to unmerge XFree86, then install X.org X11. If you want to, you can make a backup tarball of your current XFree86 installtion using quickpkg:

# quickpkg x11-base/xfree

If you need to re-emerge XFree86 (for example, if X.org fails to emerge for some
reason), you can use the precompiled tarball you just created:

# emerge --usepkgonly x11-base/xfree

Then uninstall XFree86 and install X.org:

# emerge --unmerge x11-base/xfree
# emerge x11-base/xorg-x11

Hth!
