No, the ! doesn't mean not there

The last line must be read as the package cannot be installed if
xorg-server version <1.16.2-r1 is present. Most deps are expressed as
"you must have this", but those 4 are expressed "you must not have this".
So the error message is correct, it is saying
app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.3.1-r1 cannot be installed as you have a
version of xorg-server earlier than 1.16.2-r1 already installed. There
is no negation there.
Solution: upgrade xorg-server then do everything else.
