I try with: emerge -O ati-drivers and I set the driver "fglrx". The result:
(EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (1)
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available

Then you may need to use a different xorg-server version. If that
doesn't pose a major problem, then
# emerge -C xorg-server
# emerge -D ati-drivers
Simply installing the ati-drivers should automatically pull in the
newest xorg-server that they will work with. There's a thread somewhere
on forums.gentoo.org, and another one a while back on gentoo-dev,
explaining the reason for the block.
When I first started with the ati-drivers, Xorg 6.8 was the latest
available, but they would only work with 6.7 - so we had to wait until
ATI released a new version before we could use 6.8.
Waiting a few weeks for the very latest xorg-server build won't kill you. ;)
