Can't try it for the next hour or so, but I have my doubts anyway.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf has, in part
VIDEO_CARDS="ati" is not a valid option. Check "emerge -pv xorg-x11",
it will list the valid options. You can use "radeon", "mach64", or
"r128", to bring in xf86-video-ati, aka the open-source "ati" and
"radeon" drivers. Or you can use "fglrx" to bring in the proprietary
ATI drivers.
