It should not build anything not related to your video card. Make sure the variables are set correctly. Then, run emerge --info and see if that setting has taken effect. If it has not then run #source /etc/make.conf. then check emerge --info and see if sis is the value set for VIDEO_CARDS.

I have looked at this now, and will tinker more with it later, but on a different machine. One that does not have to grind away for several hours before telling me that it failed. :-) The machine in question is mostly used as a gateway and a little bit of development, so I am just removing X from it until I can learn more.
