I think that you should be able to find that version of the ebuild in
the portage CVS attic:

I have just cleared package.mask and package.unmask of
xorg stuff and am now performing an emerge world.
However the only xorg-related change is a downgrade to
xorg-server-1.0.2-r4, which is the one I wanted to
downgrade from because it doesn't work.

Meanwhile the portage xorg maintainers have decided
that they are not going to reinstate 1.0.2-r3, not
even hard masked, which means that, unless 1.0.2-r4
decides to work for me second time round, I'm stuffed.

If anybody can tell me how to downgrade painlessly to
xorg-6.8.2 I would be very grateful. :-s

xorg 7.0 is ~x86 - no need to unmask things anymore.

The problem is, that you still habe packages unmasked and therefor, you
now get xorg 7.1 stuff. Please clean your portage.unmask of any xorg-stuff.
