Somehow, you are getting things out of order.  If you look at the ebuild 
for libxkbfile, you will see dependencies for x11-libs/libX11 and 
x11-proto/kbproto.  You can't tell from your error messages, but, for 
example, /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h comes from x11-libs/libX11, and 
/usr/include/X11/Xos.h comes from x11-proto/xproto, x11-proto/xproto is a 
dependency for pretty much all of xorg-x11-7.x (X-modular).  (And by the 
way, X11/extensions/XKBgeom.h does come from kbproto.)

It is not clear from your report how you are building X-modular. 
Generally, though, something like 'emerge -pv xorg-x11 x11' should show 
you a huge build in the proper order.  What you are seeing should not be 
possible unless (1) portage thinks all those dependencies are present, but 
for some reason they are not, or (2) you are building with 'emerge -O ...' 
for some reason.

I am pretty sure I know what you are seeing, but how it got that way I 
cannot guess.  Hope this gives you some ideas, though.
